im looking for another pc.
100 - 250$
xp perfered.
any specs that it needs to meet?
atleast 1gb memory, 2 perfered or more.
ethernet ready
perferably over 2ghz
a nice video card (nothing insane just a nice 512mb card) would be good.
I perfer xp with a key so it can be formatted down the road. I’m pretty sure everyone got rid of xp except me lol.
its for some really low end pc online gaming, and basic use. Not for me, its to replace the tower my girlfriend uses, as hers sucks haha.
let me know whats around, a realllly cheap pc would be hard to pass up even if it wasnt that good. or a really good pc at a fair price ect.
looking to buy today.
I have a 17" laptop for sale that meets these specs but looking for a little more than $250
thanks man, i’ll let you know if we go the laptop route. I appreciate the reply!
Anyone else have a pc in thier moms basement, or in thier attic burried? even if its below the requirements, i might be intrested pending the price.
I might just end up asking the tech gurus to put something together via newegg for me and ill buy all the stuff and slap it together.
Should of bought my computers had 4 forsale that were for $250 and beyond what you were looking for you should switch to windows 7…
My last two computers were “e machines”. Skeptic at first but after my second one, I d keep buying in a heartbeat. I believe Best Buy sells them. I won’t complain at all about them.
ive got an emachine, its a work horse for sure, once i upgraded the memory, but im not happy with the moterboard. This emachine is the only computer ive ever owned that dosent have dos, like wtf. I still play a couple dos games, STREET ROD 2 FOR THE WIN
haha Anyways, im still half looking, i bought a memory stick and a video card for a tower ive had sitting, but the tower its replacing isnt great, so i could always use another haha.

and you shoulda bought a v8, everyone makes dumb ass decissions sometimes.
Use dosbox to emulate dos games and apps works just fine I love street rod 1 and 2 and fuck e machines they are complete junk just build your own computer with quality parts that work fine
I’ve had major name brand computers that haven’t performed as well as e-machines. EMACHINES RULE !!!
The suck custom built computers are the best cause you choose the hardware you wanna use but what do I kno I only fixed a couple dozen emachines before and listen to customers bitch that they suck I guess I should get out of computers and find a different degree :gotme:
i have custom tower for 350$
-window 7 (i can down grade it to xp)
-575gb hard drive 10k rpm
-g/b/n wireless
-512mb radeon graphic card
i forgot the name of the motherboard i can check later
Of course custom would be the way to go. However, if you’re someone without the knowledge or time for a custom setup, I have found their systems to perform very well for the $$. No need to get your panties in a bunch.
Check TigerDirect dude, they are always sending me newsletters about cheap towers like $250 for a (low-end) quad core with like 4GB of ram…definitely decent enough to handle most stuff.
