You can get a decent PC for that price, but if you want a monitor it's going to cost more.

Check out this link. A great computer for 589$

Got a slightly better one for 595$ plus take the HL2 free coupon :P


Change to: Duel channel ram-256x2/S-ATA drive-80G/logitech Deluxe keyboard/logitech speakers, all in the same black theme

This setup is really good for a budget computer. Nice find, cow. :thumbup:

wow that is only $589?? That seems like a good deal for a computer with that performance.How is it on internet? And it would work for the sims2 right?

Yes, it would run SIMS 2 smooth. Not sure what you mean with "on the internet".

Well, the internet varies on your service provider....But yeah it is a great deal. With 512MB ram and a 6200 256meg you will be fine on the sims 2! But do as GrimReaper said because he is one of te l33t hardware experts and I'm just a cow :P That is the company I ordered my computer from and it is great!

Also, keep in mind that doesn't include a monitor, so if you are using a laptop now surferchick, then you will need to purchase one,but you can find a good one for around 100$

if i had the money, i would have taken this one:woohooo
