Computers at Buy.com

I am not a computer geek. I like computers when they are working. I do not enjoy them when trouble-shooting or repairs must be undertaken.  Casey recently had to send the household computer in for repair.  It has not ended well.  I am working on possibly getting money back from the guy that did not fix the computer. I will save the gory details and leave it for now at this - the household computer that Casey and the kids can now use is an old one that has been in the garage for the past 3 (?) years.

Casey should have asked Vicki to fix the computer, but a communication error between Casey and I happened, and well.....now Casey and the kids have a very old computer they are working on...Ugh..

I was wondering what a new computer costs these days. Not that we can afford to buy one....just wondering.  I found this Dell at Buy.com.  It is under $400...slices, dices, runs around the track, has super kinetic teleporting gizmo devices and....oh, wait....that might not be quite right. Like I said - no t a computer geek.  Here are the specs:

Dell Vostro 468-5909 Desktop PC, Intel Core 2 Duo E7500 (2.93GHz), 2GB DDR3 Memory, 160GB HDD, DVD Super Multi-Drive, Windows 7 Professional

and the pretty picture:

Seems like a good deal to me!  I know that sometimes Dells have their problems, but I suspect any computers that are sold in the mass quantities that Dells are will sometimes run into problems.  We've had some Dells over the years that we have been quite happy with, so I would probably buy another, if the price was right. It is nice that these days a decent computer can be purchased on sale for under $500, maybe even less, such as this one at only $380. Good thing, since computers have become something we just cannot live without!
