$300 Computer Deal!

So maybe you missed the last computer deal.  Well, here is another chance to redeem yourself.  I found an HP Desktop over at Sellout Woot for $300 and only $5 for shipping.  This one is not as powerful as the last but, it’s a pretty good little machine.  And I do mean little.  There are smaller computers out there but, this one as you can see in the picture isn’t even as tall and wide as the keyboard.  It’s part of the HP Slimline series designed to be powerful yet space savers.  Great for home theaters or just someone that doesn’t want to take up a lot of space.

Now for the nerd specs.  It has a AMD Phenom II X2 511 Dual-Core Processor, 4GB of DDR3 RAM, 64-bit Windows, SuperMulti DVD burner with LightScribe technology, Wireless b/g/n, 5.1 Surround, 750GB Hard Drive, and a ATI Radeon HD 3000 graphics card.  For a $300 computer, this is all pretty good.  If you are looking for a small computer to do everyday tasks on a budget, then this would be a good choice.

I always look at reviews so here is a link to Newegg.com to check out what some users have to say about it.  They no longer sell this desktop but they still have the reviews from users that purchased one when they did sell it.  The reviews are looking good but, check them out for yourself to get an idea if this would be a good purchase for you.

Like some of the other deals, keep in mind that this one is also a refurbished desktop. That’s why it is such a great price. But don’t be scared of refurbished. They usually still come with some kind of warranty. And just because it’s refurbished doesn’t mean it’s going to give you problems forever that you just have to put up with. It just means there was a faulty part that they replaced, tested everything, then reboxed it back up. Or maybe someone bought it and didn’t want it anymore so they sent it back. The company then tests the machine to make sure it works properly and boxes it back to as refurbished because they can no longer say it is new even though it is. So check it out if you need a new little computer.
