Hubby just helped a co-worker by a refurbished Dell off of Dell's website. SAys it's absolutely wonderful, and the co-workers teen son loved it so much he played videogames on it all night, LOL. Co-worker very happy with hubby and Dell's refurbed stuff. Oh and the computer was $500. I'm sure that video chip was a good amount of the cost, she might be able to find one for cheaper!

If her monitor is okay, try ordering a refurbished or scratch & dent Dell. I did that when my old one that I gave the kids (I got a laptop) blew. It was pretty good and $199. Tower, mouse and keyboard, no monitor.

They carry full warranty.

If you go to www.twitter.com/delloutlet they'll put coupons up.


They have a tower for $349. I think you might get a little cheaper if you check in the mornings.

I bought a emachine from Walmart about 3 years ago for aout $400 unlike a previous poster I had nothing but problems with it so we just bought a Dell for $900 but they had many to choose from that were not as expensive...her best bet would be Walmart or Best Buy I think...just watch at Best Buy they are very good at trying to get you to add on to your purchase and it quickly adds up.

computers have come way down in price...it really depends on what she will be using the computer for.

Does she need it to be portable or will a desk top do?

you say her computer broke?? what happened? is it a desk top or a lap top?

if a desk top, is her moniter ok?

what state are you in? do they have tax free holidays around school supply time?

thanks everyone for your great suggestions. I will call her and tell her. My husband also said about the dell outlet.

I don't know anything about what she has or anything. She was really upset. We were going for a walk while the kids had basketball practice and she was telling me how her computer broke. She was so upset because her dryer just broke and she was having a hard time coming up with that money and now this.
