Title: What is a decent price for a Used Pentium 4
Post by: AwesomeAlbert on June 29, 2007, 11:09:20 pm

I have been looking around for a used computer to put in my second project.  I'm looking something with a P4, should play mostly what i want.  I been going to pawn shops, fleamarkets and garage sales..  i don't want to pay more than 100 bucks for it.  Used computer prices vary allot (people don't know how much computers have evolved in a few years) , i haven't found anyprice that i like. (a 133MHz for 50 bucks  ???)  I'm i just being cheap?  How much do you all think an old P4 should be?  Lets just say anything around 1.6-1.8 GHz and 30-40 gig hd?

I think $100 is do-able. I would guess you might have to look a bit. The video card may need an upgrade depending on what the machine you buy has.

I would try to find a relative/friend with a hand-me-down who would want the money instead of dealing with ebay/craigslist or storing the old computer.
