Computers for less

When you work as a helpdesk/Technical support person, network administrator, software installer, or if you are dealing with software and hardware configurations, you will be asked a lot of computer related problems.

Being one the person doing all of the above for living, I get to be asked lots of questions about computers. Some of the questions is where can I buy a cheap computer, how can I get a computer for less, is there any computer deals that you know of etc, etc.

My answer to those questions is another question to inquirers, which goes….. What do you need a computer for?

If you need a computer just for regular use and Internet surfing, my answers are; go to ebay and buy a cheap used computer at a very competitive price. Another way is to be patient and wait for computers sale or computer clearance. What happens is computer sellers like Dell computers, Best buy, Micro Center, Hp, CDW, TigerDirect and IBM have rebate programs that run for a certain period of time like one week or during holiday season. My suggestion is wait for those times to buy a decent computer for less.

For gamers and computer enthusiasts I would say you would be better off to custom build you own computer system. The secret behind this is that you will buy computer parts at the time of your choosing and slowly assemble you cheap computer systems as your budget permits.

Both computer enthusiasts and regular computer users who are looking for powerful yet cheap computers try to always be in the look out for computer discounts, computer parts discounts, computer coupons and computer for sale. Don’t fall in the trap of computer vendor commercials that persuades you to buy new computers, top of the line computers or the best and greatest computers. You need a computer for word processing and Internet surfing and you should purchase a cheap computer that would exactly do that.
