[AAP]

Ok, I need a PC for the guest bedroom so my guests won't be fucking around with my computer or work laptop.

The only thing this computer is going to be used for is :

1 -internet
2 -email
3 -nothing else

(P.S. I also have a LInkys router or whatever it is called so will I need a special internet/ethernet/wireless card or whatever the fuck it is so this PC can use my current DSL connection in the office?)

The shipping sounds great
when I bought mine, the shipping was very expensive to TN so the guy told me to wait till Thursday, thats when they start new sales , and see what was happening
I know alot of ppl dont like celeron but ive had celeron processors and had no problems
but its for a g uest room that wont get used alot so i dont see the big deal
i think its a good computer

Me too. I mean, it ain't like they are going to be doing high powered graphics or playing games that need some souped up roided out video card. Just internet use only. At the most, I might have to put another 256 stick of memory in it.

I like that deal
anytime you can get free shipping on something that weighs that much is a good deal

It sounds ok except it is a dell so that means it is a piece of shit.

Have you thought about using a browser appliance instead?

(I have the name of the thing on the tip of my tongue)

You know those little MS devices that basically have IE and Outlook Express on them, they look cute and might make for a better guest room device.

Oh, but the machine would suffice.

Not a screaming deal but not a rip-off either.

i bought a dell and was very happy with it ,since then I build my own , any way sounds perfect but I would put some sort of anti virus proggie on it, gl
