Cheap Computer
Im getting tired of only being online at school for only a couple hours at a time. I have a computer at home already but it's dead and i also have an old thinkpad (so old it has only a USB 1.0 port and ony a dial-up connection). Does anyone know where i can find a dirt cheap, working computer; or any idea on what i can do to that thinkpad to get online and probably play SM?

Hahahahahah AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA Oh, that was a good laugh. There are better economy computers that are cheaper then Dell out there. Look into getting possibly getting a refurbished Pentium 3 or greater. Those will do you good. www.tigerdirect.com Tiger Direct has great refurbished computers, for a really, really good price. |

Re: Cheap Computer
HAHAHAHAHAHHA
eMachines... HA.. lol. eMachines = ****. They are not worth anything. The best computer is to buy off-lease computers from amazon.com. They are OK for the price and you are able to choose from a lot of different manufacturers. |

Re: Cheap Computer
I don't think Dells suck at all. I've had this Dell pc for 5 years almost. Never had a problem with it.

Re: Cheap Computer
You aren't going to find much else for a "cheap" computer. Refurbished is the cheapest you can get. Dell is good quality for a cheap price. In-store computers generally suck, but they're also pretty cheap.
Shop around. Dell changes the sale on their site every week or so. I bought a computer for my sister that should have cost 2,000 dollars. It cost 700. |

eMachines are extremely reliable and, spec-wise, good for the price, and they're extremely reliable. I don't know what your problem with them is other than prejudice from your fifteen year-old pseudo-tech-geek friends. The computer I'm running, a T3958, runs for <$300 refurbished. It's an amazing deal for the price, and it should be in more than working conditions.

Re: Cheap Computer
I use a cheap Gateway with a WIndows NT in school.
The connection is good, but laggy. Cant play FFR on it. |
