This weekend, I bought a new computer for my in-laws. A Compaq Presario SR1214NX desktop, HP DeskJet 3845 printer, and a MAG 771FS-S 17" monitor. I couldn't find a specific link for the desktop, but it apparantly is part of the SR1000 series. It had an AMD 2900+ cpu, 512MB RAM, 80GB drive, DVD drive, CD-RW drive, network card, and modem.
All for $770. Less the $290 in rebates I just mailed in, and that nets out at $480.
Sub-$500 is here! The only piece missing was a really nice video card - but most people don't care about that. Oh, and speakers, but they're cheap too.
At any rate, quite an upgrade for them - the computer I replaced was bought pre-Harry, I think. That would make it 1998 or so. :-)
