Staples - Refurb Compaq $299

[Gutty96]

Just saw this in my local flyer. It states there will be a minimum 3 per store. Try your luck if you think it is a deal.

Intel e2140
1 GB RAM
250 GB HDD
DVD-RW
90 day warranty.

For $299.95

Seems like a decent price to me.

I saw that too. I'm not sure about the difference in processors, but Dell has a 2 GB Ram system, also with 250 GB Hard Drive and DVD R/W, etc, with your choice of Vista or XP for $329 in their flyer. For $30 more I'd rather get a system with XP and 2 GB Ram. It's their Vostro 200 Mini Tower with Celeron M processor.

This is a much better deal for $50 more.

Intel e2180 dual-core
2 GB RAM
500 GB HDD
DVD-RW
90 day warranty

agree

just don't understand why Stooples still sell computers

I ordered this a couple days ago with 2 coupons.

I added some pens for a filler to bring it over $300 but it still works out to less than $295 after the 2x$20 off.

i doubt staples's description though: "Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3100 with 251MB dedicated graphics memory"?

agree that it's a better deal, but i don't agree that stooples should stop selling PCs.

haven't you seen how many stooples clearance laptop/desktop deals that have been posted on RFD? :confused:

you can't say the same for FS/BB.
frankly, i've rarely ever seen any good clearance PC deals at FS/BB... either instore or online... not to mention a lack thereof for deal threads on RFD... :P
