Jose_49 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Yo! Title says it all. I'm looking for the cheapest i3 desktop I can get. If it's possible to have a Hard Drive, DVD Rom, I'm seriously thinking: http://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-ThinkServer-70A4000HUX-i3-4130-Computer/dp/B00F6EK9J2/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1417472220&sr=1-1&keywords=Desktop+i3 and grabbing an external Hard Drive. Any other good offers? Thanks :D Edit: This is for my uncle. He currently has a very old desktop (around 7 years old). 2GB DDR2, and a Pentium Dual Core 3.0 (I can't remember the architecture) To be honest, anything newer than that shall suffice. He does need a DVD ROM. Personally, since he'll be keeping that thing until it dies, I'd want to get him as future proof as possible. He doesn't do much... Any kind of movies he would watch, he'd just burn it into a DVD and watch it in his TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comparing it from my old lappy (Dell XPS M1530 @ 2.4GHz T8300) it seems that my lappy's processor is faster. . After some research, I rather look for the i3 model... ... Sigh... It seems I'm not good on looking on the low-end :p I just don't want to see the thing lag when launching programs and browsing the web!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
