Admiral Ross Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 My buddy Kyle bought a used computer for $100. In my opinion he got ripped off. Here's what he got: 15 flat screen crt monitor amd duron 750 512 mb ram cdr burner dvd rom 30 gig hdd Now the problems: One of the memory sticks was bad and the other one is bad too but runs. I'm running MEMTEST86 on it now, for the last 3hr 53mins. The hdd has 11 mb of bad sectors on it. I still have yet to run spinrite on it to really assess the damage to the hdd. All in all he wanted it for school and internet. There is no freaking way he can use this system for internet. But, then again all he does is MYSPACE anyways! Worse case scenerio he can use the left over components for spares. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted September 29, 2006 Moderators Share Posted September 29, 2006 It could turn out to be one of those instances where buying one of those bargain PC's for $299-$499 in the long run could actually be cheaper than fixing what he bought. If where he bought it has a return offer that would be my suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldmannen Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 If the memory and the disk wouldn't be bad, then 100$ for a computer wouldn't be so bad, if he could write documents for school on it, and surf Internet and visit his dumb MySpace.
