That's kinda steep for that setup if ya ask me..
But, the 35 dollars a week sounds cheap until you do the math.

yee- ha! tote the note computer sales!

I saw this company's ad on DTV tonight and thought I'd do a little looking to see what the place was all about.

What made my BS detector go off was the line in the commercial
"If you can afford 35 dollars a week for 12 months, you can have a brand new name brand computer"

www.bluehippo.com

--> 1820$ for that "junk"!!

Unbelievable what they are trying to sell you. Sometimes I`m amazed by those guys!

[vass0922]

Hell I can't afford 35 bucks a week! That's 140 a month! I got enough bills thank you

Thing is they advertise in that manner for a reason ....
It works

[Gait_Keeper]

I need to build some machines and sell them like that LOL

like vass0922 I have one bill too many right now

[Mr. Goodbytes]

a little steep? heck, it'd still be steep if it were the full blown P4, i'm guessing it'll be a celeron. and only SDRAM... GAHHH!!!!! I have better things to waste money on. isn't that like the PeoplePC thing too? I don't remember what that costs, but i'm sure it's an equal waste of cash.

And for another measly $312.00 you can upgrade to a 17" monitor.


Duuuuude! You're gettin' a Dell! $499.00 at Dell's website/w 17" monitor and a burner.

How'bout this testimonial

"I always wanted a brand new computer but didn't have the money to buy one. Then I found BlueHippo. They worked with my pay schedule and created a payment plan perfect for me. Now I have that computer I've been wanting. Thank you BlueHippo."

Didn't have the money to buy a computer, but has an extra $35.00a week to pay for one? Is it just me, or does that not make ant sense?

It's for people that have no credit, that is why it is so expensive, i've seen this before too, it is pretty expensive, but it's for poor people that have bad credit.

Yeah, there are dells and better IMO to get, but do they know that? (The consumer)

[TheBurningCat]

i have 40 cents. and i'm saving that so i can use a payphone later on to ring my parents to ask for some money

but seriously. for that ammount of cash i'd get a mac

[iNeb]

Maybe a G5 mac?

I can lease a 2003 Honda Civic for that after making a small down payment.

OTOH, if I had $35/week to spare, I'd save up for 4 months and get a Dell.
