| Deal for those looking for a PC for a MAME system |

IIRC, four or five years ago a holding company entity bought up the "brands" of Tiger Direct, Circuit City, and CompUSA and consolidated all of them under the same ordering/warehousing/shipping system. Buying from one is essentially like buying from any of the others. |

TD are still bottom feeders. $99 for a used Pentium-D is not a good deal. Integrated graphics and who knows what kind of expansion slots it has. Pass. |

Well, if you're not keen on torrents and all/you feel you must pay for an OS, and you want Win7, I think that's pretty decent. |

Don't take this the wrong way. I like to have a legal copy of windows if I don't plan to install Linux. Compared to Craigslist TD is reputable. Look, I could purchase a pentium D box w/no HD or OS for $35 at state surplus, slap an old HD in it and install a dodgy copy of windows or linux for less than $100, but how much is my time worth? The ONLY question (at least to me) here is whether or not the box has a pci-e expansion slot. If it does, it's a good deal. If not, it's not a good deal. |
