(By that I mean they never go over $100.) Haven't bought from him, but it looks like a good start for a machine. They come with motherboard, processor, and case in different configurations. I don't care so much about the case, but I suppose you have to get it that way. I have all the extra parts, anyways so maybe I'll do that. The Intel machines are all celerons, but he has AMD setups as well. His name is "ezbpc".

No HD in those systems, but yeah, great prices and he's using ASROCK mobos (subsidiary of ASUS). Definitely something to consider.

Thanks.

Well I've got all the extra HD's, CD-ROM's, memory, video cards, ethernet cards, etc... All I really need is the basics.

Understood, me too, just meant that these were less equipped than the initial systems. Still great deals, though.

NIVO:
While I agree that the price is more than fair for the barebone kits, the shipping is unjustified. $48 for ground shipping is appaling. Getting a combo deal for $75 and then turning around and paying 3/4 of that price to ship it, well frankly I dont see it. Even if the weight adds up to that price, I will personally look for more alternatives. I am amazed at all the good deals out there, only to be let down by inflated shipping costs.

meta87:
Not sure if you guys have Fry's Electronics were you live but there is one near me.

You can get a barebone system pretty cheap, like $150 or so. Also a mobo with 8x AGP that supports up to 2.4 p4 processor is only $59.

That would be a good store to check out.
