Looking for a desktop
« on: December 08, 2011, 01:33:20 PM »
Im looking for a desktop PC. I would like to have the following specs;

2nd generation intel i3 or i5
4-6 gig RAM
1TB HDD
wireless capabilities
I have a screen so it's not a necessity

Anyone know of a good deal out there?

$349, no wireless. (I know you said you need wireless, but for $100...)
$449, with wireless.

Here Is an i3, 4gb windows pro for $340 (no wireless)
Here Is an i5, 4gb windows pro for $390 (no wireless)

Use the dell gift cards - $300 and $50 to make this deal $50 cheaper

Dell Gift Cards

OP is looking for integrated wireless. Personally I'd save the money and install it myself.

+1

And the $390 Deal has the i5

On Amazon a intergraded wireless card is $20 (you could find cheaper  ;))

I'd install if he needs help   :P

I'm not that computer literate  :( but I think I can figure out how to install a wireless card.

Bottom line, which one should I go with?

P.S. I just checked the $390 PC and see that it doesn't have a media card reader which is a must
