dn0 Posted May 22, 2005 CID Share Posted May 22, 2005 Newegg.com is a good place to start.. I have been thinking of getting one of these cheap Dell systems just for another PC. They start at like 300 Bucks: http://www1.us.dell.com/content/products/compare.aspx/desktops?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/4901-best-but-cheapest-way-to-build-a-computer/#findComment-50257 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grambler Posted May 22, 2005 CID Share Posted May 22, 2005 I agree with Dn0, Newegg.com is a great place to start. You may want to look into something like this barebanes system to use as a starting point. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16856110027 Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/4901-best-but-cheapest-way-to-build-a-computer/#findComment-50264 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PeePs Posted May 23, 2005 CID Share Posted May 23, 2005 I agree that newegg.com is the best place to buy parts for computers, and probably whole computers too, but at tigerdirect.com they have nice deals on some refurbished systems. If your just going to build ur own system newegg is the definate place to go. Like a week ago at tigerdirect.com they have a refurbished HP with an Athlon 3200+, 200 GB harddrive, 512 MB memory, and 64 MB video for $399.

Mactron Posted May 23, 2005 CID Share Posted May 23, 2005 what do u guys think about pricewatch.com Their good for price comparisons. In additions to their rating of vendors, also use http://resellerratings.com/ to check the vendor(s) out. There are some really bad ones out there. Beware. Have fun, your CC balance will never be the same again.
