Need to order a new puter for a friend.

Place I used locally last time has gone out of business.

Need to find a new source.

A company in SoCal would be nice, but not a deal breaker.

Anybody have a source they would care to share?


Check the Computer section of Craigslist.

In my city, there are two or three guys who get TONS of computers back from
lease, spiffy them up, and ship them to Nigeria by the pallet load. They
will eagerly sell one to you.

I've gotten three in the past six months, two Dell Inspirion desktops (for
$65 each) and one HP laptop ($140). Happy with all of them.

Aside:
Ever wonder what happened to all the CRT monitors? One place I visited must
have had over a thousand being crated up for shipment to Patagonia,
Rhodesia, or some other third-world customer.
