I normally (stupidly) let you guys know about deals before I get mine, and they sell out. This time I went ahead and bought one though. I might buy another next month if the sale is still on.

Anyway, these are refurbished computers.... right now they have a big sale on the HP/Compaq units. The prices are already low, but if you enter the coupon code "HPDeal" you get an additional 80 dollars off.

I got a core 2 duo 3.00ghz with 4 gigs of ram for 83 bucks!

For the record these are PCs with the OS installed, win 7 home edition usually.

So if you are wanting a cheap, yet fairly high-end pc for a mame cab build now is the time.... the hdd sizes aren't great, but they are decent. I think this one has 160 gb.

So basically I need to find a video card and it's ready to go.

(BTW, 3.00 ghz core 2 duo is the minimum specs to run Mortal Kombat/Injustice... I've been told you can usually over-clock these to around 3.5 ghz as well).

Be careful, a lot of these may have motherboards without an external video card slot. I am having trouble viewing the site, so I cannot verify. I do think it's a pretty good deal though.

pbj:
Are these fast enough to play Gauntlet Legends?

I'm not sure if anything is fast enough to play gauntlet legends, but when it comes in I'll try it. ;)

Well there are several form factors to choose from. With micro and small FF I think that would be a concern, but I got a regular desktop. I can't think of a good reason why they would sell a desktop sized machine without room for expansion. Even if I need to get a motherboard though, I only paid 80 bucks, which is the cost of a win 7 license anyway.
