WTB: Cheap computer for my son

[FFH]

My son want's to buy a good second hand computer, he was going to get one of ebay but figured he might get better value else where.

As there is a large number of IT guru's here I figured someone might have enough parts to put something together for him at a reasonable price.

I could but I sold all my parts off recently so I only have a case and maybe a small hard drive, thats about all.

He wants to spend about $250.00 maybe a little bit more.

We would prefere Brisbane pickup or surrounds.

Could you please post your offers and specs, thanks.

Naa we don't, we could buy him one. But he has his own money from working and wants to buy his own.

Thanks anyway.

I bought three Dell desktops off ebay early this year. 1.7 gig, 40 gig hard drive keyboard, optical mouse and 15" LCD monitor. $280 each. They haven't missed a beat and they came from Brisbane. I think ebay is still a good option.

I stuck wireless cards in them and they are perfect for the kids to access the web.

We have revisited Ebay since starting this post. I believe we have found a couple of options for him, he just has to make a desicion on which one.

Mods you may close this thread now. Thank you.
