WTB: A Decent Desktop


Hey Guys,

I was hoping someone could help me out...

I'm looking to buy a desktop for my 4 year old. Yes, I'm buying my 4 year old his own computer (my husband will be using it as well).

But I've been having a hard time trying to find a decent one that wont cost me an arm and a leg.

I'm not looking for anything spectacular - but someone that will last a little while (spec wise).

Specs I'm looking for (at least):

AMD 1800
512MB ram
40GB HD
a graphic card with at least 64MB ram (but 128MB is better).

A decent mobo, and a cd burner (not required - but saves me from having to go out and buy one).

I'm looking to spend no more than $800 for it.

If anyone is looking to sell, please contact me (upload pics of machine if possible).

Please, no eMachines, Compaqs or HPs.

Thanks,
Tonya

I never really liked Dell... if I were to buy it from Dell, I would have to buy the 3 year warranty (I've had problems with both Gateway and Dell previously, and could've bought 3 new systems will all the stuff that I had to replace under warranty).

Check www.gotapex.com for Dell specials and buy based on those specials (with the onsite warranty if you so desire.) GotApex has the best deals for Dell desktops.
