Title: Are these worth the money?
Post by: Hoby on November 15, 2008, 08:11:49 AM
I was looking through a pc mag and they rated on of the rigs, not listed, as a solid deal for the money.  I am looking for a new computer soon but don't have a lot of money.

Thanks for any input.

Looks like there's some pretty good deals there.  I always piece my own computers together; I've been doing that ever since my first 286-16.  :)

Pricewatch is a great site because it'll organize the prices according to whatever you might be looking for and also updates its price database very frequently.  I've found many good companies to buy through with it.

I only use pricewatch.  I have never found a reason to go any other place.  Some people have told me to go to Newegg... and then i showed them pricewatch and it beat them quite well if you just have the patience to look at Pricewatch... which if you are planning on building a computer. do your research :)

I use newegg 90% of the time as their return policy is great and overall there customer service rocks.  I do like pricewatch though as it is great ofr finding a deal but you gotta be careful who you buy through with them sometimes.
