need a computer - but short on cash?

[radfringe]

check this out -- http://retrobox.com/

heard about this place on NPR radio -- they take old computers, refurbish and resell them

worth a look-see if you are in need of or just want a newer computer than the one you are using

they also have monitors (most going for $31.00), printers and other perhipherals...

1. I recently bought a refurbished Dell through ebay

for a good amount less than comparable models on the site you link to. Just another possibility for those looking for a good deal.

2. Thanks!

Just what I was looking for.

E-Bay also has some great deals, but it requires attention to the auction process. But I was surprised that many of Retrobox's deals were as low or lower than those on E-Bay.

3. Thanks!

I've just begun thinking about how nice a new computer would be

5. You need to contact Prisoner_Number_Six, he hangs out in DU lounge

and is my brother. He is owner of a computer home business and he will build you anything you want, high end, low end, refurbished, whatever you can afford, he will work it out with you. :)

4. None of the computers come with a modem.

And you have to pay extra for the operating system.
