It’s hard to pass up a capable PC at under $250. The uses are almost endless: a print server, web server or thin client are just a few. Enter the refurbished eMachines T5082 – for just $249.00 USD, this box boasts a P4 3.0 GHz Processor, 512 MB DDR2 RAM (expandable to 2 GB) and a 160GB hard drive. Even at this low price, it comes with a licensed version of Vista Home Basic, a 16x DVDRW Multi-Format dual layer drive and 15-in-1 Digital Media Manager.
Take a look at the eMachines product summary and you’ll see this retails for $399, so it’s a good deal at $150 off. Browsing the web, CNET.com has a few user reviews of 8, 8 and 5 out of 10. Yahoo Tech gives it 4 out of 5 stars, so you know it’s a quality buy as well as a cheap one. An important note: for Windows Vista, 512MB is not much memory at all. I would definitely recommend upgrading for any serious application around your home or office.
