Refurb PC

[vjp...@at.biostrategist.dot.dot.com]

Used to get refurb PCs from off-leasecomputers.com which then became
techagain.com. They don't seemt o be around. I used to be ablet o get
a desktop for fifty bucks and laptop (truedataproducts.com) for under
a hundred. Has anyone had recnet experiences with other vendors?

I can get a new PC minus monitor for right around $400 at a local
independent computer place that stands behind their stuff and does great
work. I think when the price difference between a used computer and a
new computer got that close, the incentive to buy used sort of
disappeared. But that's only my own opinion.

According to www.pricewatch.com there are lots of PC's available for
less than $200 without operating systems. Linux is free if you download
it and can be found for less than $10 retail and for $5 at outfits
like www.osdisc.com

I agree that with price differences so narrow between new and used
there isn't much incentive to go used.
