Aldi's computer - Page 3

We shop at ALDI's sometimes becaue they have some damn good prices. The only problem is it's a 30 minute drive.

I wonder if they'll sell the monitor without the computer?

Necro (Words mean things, consider changing your handle, even thinking of such things makes them possible to you) et al.
Anything on their "Special Purchases" page is available separately. If you want a monitor, it's $99. plus tax. If you want the cordless combo, it's $30. etc.

Seems like they have already updated their special purchases page for next week. Does anyone know if this computer comes loaded with an OS and if so which version?

Thanks!

Hey Zepper, are you near Ithaca? They have three boxes on display there as of 3:30EST. Cash or Debit card only, no checks or credit cards.

Jillah, it has Win XP Home plus a bunch of other SW - there's a list of the SW in one of the two threads here.
buddy, I'm nearer to Cortland but not that much farther from Ithaca. If I needed a new machine with that kind of power, I'd jump on it, but I just upgraded my own box. And that medion has way too much power. I'm a man of simple needs...

Just got back from our local Aldi's in SC and had the employee there open one up for me.
Looks as advertised and seems to be of good quality.
The only thing that seemed a bit chessy was the front bezel and its slide away door that exposes the media bay and no-floppy.
But...for 699.00 I would buy one.

155.00 for the cpu
25.00 mem
148.00 harddrive
127.00 video card
30.00 dvd
37.00 cdrw

thats 522.00 and the lowest prices I can find not including shipping and doesn't include MB/Case/PS/KB/Mouse/all the software/media bay.

Wow, that's a great deal. Anyone who needs a good computer at a decent price should snag this.

Tht same PC will have a Radeon 9600 PRO soon, as the news said. It's still a great PC if you don't know where to buy parts and it's a great steal for all the parts and OS.
