Need a Computer

True_Snake · 09-26-2004, 05:17 PM

Hey guys. I'm looking for a computer which is over 2.0 GHZ, has a 40 GB hard disk, preferrably a floppy drive, and a CD writer (not necessary), and I would like Windows XP, but if it's without it, it's okay. Also, it should have an audio and video card (doesn't matter if it's on board).

EDIT:I also need 256 MB of RAM.

Now for my budget, I don't have alot to spend, but I can spend upto $350-$375 Canadian Dollars.

Also, I would prefer that it be from a store, because it has warranties, but individuals are okay too, if it's a really good deal. In addition, I would like the shop/person to be located in Canada, but again, it's okay if it's from the States.

Does anyone think I'm asking for too much for too little?

I would really appreciate it if you guys can help me find one thats right for me!

Thanks

!

Do you need a key board and mouse? for 350-375 you can't really get exactly what you want.

True_Snake · 09-26-2004, 05:55 PM

That's true, I cant get exactly what I want. I can make a few adjustments, lower some things.

So please post if you know of something close, like 1.8 GHZ or something.

As for keyboard and mouse, I dont need it with this. I can buy it myself. But that shouldn't stop you from posting any that do come with these

.

Thanks,

Also for that price, you will not get a moniter.

True_Snake · 09-26-2004, 07:44 PM

Yes, I understand. I will find a used monitor somewhere for like 50 bucks.

Whats the Computer going to be used for? Not for Gaming?

GOD BLESS

True_Snake · 09-28-2004, 04:39 PM

Well, I'm not too much into gaming. A little though, I'd probably have a game or two.
I need it for more basic uses. Thats why I don't want an exceptional video card, because, frankly, I'm not going to use it
