REV0LUTI0NIZED Posted September 9, 2005 CID Share Posted September 9, 2005 i dont like circuit city nor best buy for pc Okay.... These two pc's look good and cheap. But their from Circuit City, Sorry. I might buy one of those. http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/HP-Pavilion-Desktop-PC-A1112N-/sem/rpsm/oid/130464/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/HP-Pavilion-Desktop-PC-A1130N-/sem/rpsm/oid/127031/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn0 Posted September 9, 2005 CID Share Posted September 9, 2005 I would run away from the refurbs, who knows where those things have been. Have you considered Dell? I know you want to apply for credit at Tigerdirect, but consider somewhere else. Revolutionized's deals above blow Tigerdirect's away....

dn0 Posted September 9, 2005 CID Share Posted September 9, 2005 Compare these two links: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1481547&Tab=2&NoMapp=0 http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/HP-Pavilion-Desktop-PC-A1112N-/sem/rpsm/oid/130464/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do I might just order that HP from Circuit City right now, not bad..... Circuit City is selling twice the PC and with a monitor for $70 more (then theres a $50 REBATE) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dn0 Posted September 9, 2005 CID Share Posted September 9, 2005 Well, I give up trying to find a PC with 2.8 GHz processor and up for $600 and below. I couldn't find anything, either. pitbull, you should consider applying at Circuit City for the deal REVOLUTIONIZED posted. Worth a shot, that's a great deal.

dn0 Posted September 9, 2005 CID Share Posted September 9, 2005 Uh oh- I guess the Circuit City deal is also without a monitor (damn small print), but still a better deal than Tigerdirect. Double the HD, double the RAM; exception is Win XP Home at CC, and Win XP Pro at TD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indestructable Posted September 9, 2005 CID Share Posted September 9, 2005 You know, this may sound stupid guys, but my HP Media Center , out of the box, was a great machine, and slowly turned into a p o s.... I'd still go with HP, but be warned.. you probbly want to get 1 gig of ram for sure on a HP, I'm pretty sure it runs lots better. My friend is actually trying to find me some atm...lol Just thought I'd bud in on the topic. I'm sure(as always,)that my somment will be ignored, but...whatever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indestructable Posted September 9, 2005 CID Share Posted September 9, 2005 cool, yeah, I would kill for an extra 512 ram, or 1 gig, but I'm soooo poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

netmasta Posted September 9, 2005 CID Share Posted September 9, 2005 Looks good to me. It doesn't look very expandable though. It only has two PCI slots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
