Whats a Desktop Deal:

There are many factors you need to take into account in order to make something a deal. Manufacturer, Product line, Specs and warranty are usually what to look at when figuring that out. You need to consider prices as well, sometimes you get a price so hot that it doesn't matter what company it is.

Generally speaking here are the guidelines for Intel processors:

i3 8th Gen processor - Under $300 is usually a hot deal, Under $350 is decent
i5 8th Gen Processor - Under $400 is a Usually a Hot Deal
i7 8th Gen Processor - Under $600 is a Usually Hot Deal

to be continued....

Very nice deal. Thanks
Ordered a couple using the same Newegg account (w/ shoprunner of course). If I added 2 to cart it caps the discount at $50. By purchasing them separately, I was able to get $37 off each.

Hey, I'm helping my father in law look for a solid mid-level computer (not a gamer). Preferably with a larger screen 24"+ and, and decent specs.  I like Dell, and HP but if there's a deal on another brand that's fine. (Price range is up to $1k lower the better)   TIA!

Good solid i3 system however it doesn't include a hard drive or operating system. Newegg had this system for a while for about $250 or so

I am looking for a system that will be good for basic Web browsing, spreadsheets and quick books.  This will be my first desktop so a monitor is a plus, but I can also buy it separately.   Thank you.

Any good deals for a decent desktop in the $600 range + monitor?

I'm looking for something fast that can handle some multitasking, with a i5 or i7 and 8gb.

Still available? How much to ship? How much to upgrade RAM? Would I get amex warranty?

Yup. 
Where to?
Comes with 3yr warranty, I assume you get additional year if you use PayPal. I have 30 left in stock as of half hour ago.
