Decent $500ish computer?
pinballjim:
Alright, the computer scientist friend talked me out of the other one. You give up too much horsepower if you require a BluRay drive and I think I own 10 BluRays.
I got an open box version of this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834246491
And added another 4GB of RAM.
Assuming Fat Wallet coughs up the 3% cashback, and they've been good about it, it'll total ~$477 shipped. It's a little soft on the hard drive size but otherwise happy.
:cheers:
Nephasth:
Newegg... What'd I tell ya...
pinballjim:
No tax basically meant a $50 discount compared to other vendors. Anyway, assuming the condition is good it'll be an excellent price. There's few vendors besides New Egg I'd trust on open box. Actually, probably nobody except New Egg.

Well, Connie's computer with 2GB of DDR1 RAM and a PCI GeForce 5500 shoved into it actually runs Torchlight 2 fairly well. Only had to pay double market price to get hardware that's so archaic.
Laptop from NewEgg showed up today. As hoped, "open box" meant "mint condition for $150 off." Was able to register it the $15 Windows 8 upgrade, too. ;D
