Places to find good, inexpensive computers.

My girlfriend needs her own computer.

She only gets to use mine when when I am not on it - and that's not very often. Pretty much, the few hours she is up before I wake up.

Where would you guys recommend I try looking for good deal on a computer for her?

Cheap + Good is not normially the same in computers. Typically the more you pay, the better the product. With new componants there is a 5-15% markup at most, so you basically need to find the parts you want, and get a company to make it. Best way to do it.

www.dell.com Just bought a new server for less than $500 with warranty.
It is not worth buying a clone or used equipment when you can buy new for the same price.

Overnight service and if they are not in your state, no sales tax.

Of course when I buy from them, I always pay the sales tax anyway

And the best part is...if you are laying in bed and decide you want something, order it up till 2:00 AM and it is still delivered overnight

cheap is not always bad...its called a markup, and alot of businesses like to make more money, and why not if it sells at that price?

Use pricewatch.com to find parts price.

You can get a AMD 2000-2400 for pretty cheap right now.

Buying a P4 isn't a good idea right now due to the new release of the 800mhz bus so prices aren't stable.

Try Apple's special deals (refurb, etc.) here. Or just get an eMac for like $800 or an iBook for a grand.
