Yeah…Dell Outlet is kinda pricey. ☺ And with eBay, you never know what you’re going to get. I got an email from Surplus Computers this morning and they had an Optiplex GX620 for $170 that looks like something that would do what I Need (if I do some upgrades after I get it! :-)) Still...all those upgrades after the fact are gonna raise the price, so if I can get something with a DVDRW and some decent memory, I might go for that instead. I'm kind of partial to Dell, but I won't refuse something that's an IBM or HP or whatever. I think I would decline to buy an eMachine simply because I had some bad experiences working on them...hard to find aftermarket parts that'll fit (power supplies, etc.)

Where do you guys go for your inexpensive refurbished PCs? I'd prefer something name-brand, which will take an extra hard drive, etc. Thanks ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
