    Default Bought me a new computer

    One of my old Dells just has not been hacking it lately.

    Nothing fancy, but for the price I can not complain! This computer will be used for pretty much only running UPS and USPS software, should be just fine.

    Acer Aspire AM1201-BE5001A Desktop PC LCD Bundle - AMD Athlon X2 5000+ 2.6GHz, 3GB DDR2, 320GB SATA II, DVDRW-RAM, ATI Radeon 2100 Graphics, Gigabit LAN, Flash Reader, Vista Home Premium, 19" LCD at TigerDirect.com

    Been looking into barebones and such. Can not touch anything similar to this that is not a refurb that comes with a 19" monitor and OS.

    I wish computers were as reasonably priced in the UK...
    You can't buy anything for a Pound any more (apart from a Euro).

    I see a few places having name brand systems, no monitor but otherwise complete for just over $200 after rebates! mg:

    The price is now gone so I have no idea what you paid. However, computer bundles are now the way to go. I use to like to build my own but I can't touch anything close to what I bought my last two bundles for. I just upgrade every couple of years and it is still cheaper than building one.

    That is a good price. That is about the range I paid for my dell as a bundle. I only got the 17" monitor though. You got more Ram too! Damn, now I am jealous. :stongue:

    Wait till I break it to the wife i want another computer. :sshocked:

    Yeah the monitor and OS alone is at least $200. Plus building you don't get as good of a warranty.

    Can't wait until it arrives, even though I'll more than likely never use it

    I had the same problem and I contacted HP (my printer brand) and they sent me a driver update that as not on their website. If it is not on the company website, contact your manufacturer and they may send you one too.
