Dell.ca: Vostro 220 PC w/Core 2 Duo E8400, 250GB HD, 2GB RAM, 19” LCD, Vista $579
Dell.ca has a very nice offer at the moment on a complete desktop PC including a 19" LCD. It's a Vostro 220 with an Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 proecssor, 2GB RAM, 250GB hard drive, Vista Basic and a 19" LCD for $579. Here are the full specs:
- Intel Core 2 Duo Proc E8400 (3.00GHz,6MB L2Cache,1333FSB)
- Windows Vista Home Basic
- 2GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM 800MHz - 2DIMMs
- 250GB Serial ATA Hard Drive (7200RPM)
- 1 Year Limited Warranty, Next Business Day Onsite Service and Tech Support
- Integrated 5.1 Channel Audio
- Integrated Video, Intel® GMA X4500HD
- Single Drive: 16X DVD+/-RW Drive
- Dell 19 inch Widescreen E1909WFP Analog Flat Panel Display
Upgrades to consider include moving up to a 20" LCD for $30 and a 22" LCD for $50. A couple of productivity add-ons include Microsoft Works 9 (no MS Word) for $0, and Microsoft Works Plus 2008 (with Word 2003) for $30.
A similar Vostro 200 system without the monitor cost $429 a few weeks ago, and it was considered a very good deal since the E8400 processor is one of the fastest available. This configuration comes with the newer Vostro 220 case design, and of course, a 19" LCD. When you break down the cost, you're looking at about $150 for the 19" LCD, which is more than reasonable. This is definitely a hard system to beat if you need a complete computer with a fast processor.
