March 9, 200422 yr I am trying to decide if I should pick up a new case and motherboard and keep my HD, CDRW, etc. or buy a new machine. Being a cheap college student I was looking at Tiger Direct and liked their prices on refurbished systems. Has anyone here bought one? Any other place to look for decent systems for under $500?

For a couple hundred more you can get a brand new Dell or Gateway. Why mess with refurbished stuff when a brand new machine isint much more expensive?
March 10, 200422 yr I'd say dell. Check out www.gotapex.com and look down and they usually have some pretty good configuarations for cheap. They'll post coupons and all that type of stuff.

I purchase items there all the time to build computers or to upgrade. I have never had a problem with them. I did have a case window that I had to return that I was given some bad information on, but 1 time out of 100 isn't a bad ratio. If I was you I would just upgrade your current system, unless it gets too expensive. A good place to look for parts is www.pricewatch.com. Make sure you read everything though because most items are OEM, which a lot of people don't like. I, again, have never had a problem with OEM parts. Plus they are still under warranty by the manufacturer. I think most don't like them because it doesn't come with the manual or software/driver. But you can easily find those things by searching the web. Good luck on either way you go.
