PC wanted

[DODGER523]

I know their are alot of IT peeps that might know some good deals.

I'm look to use it just for downloading. So dont need any accessories(keyboard screen etc) also wont need dvd-rom/writer and no operating system.

What can i get for R1500?

If you have to buy a new one -
Foxcon G31MXP -R381
Celeron 430 -R318
1 GB Ram -R226
Midi Tower Case + 300W PSU Black 2x Front USB -R192
Total - R1117

Maybe you could get a better deal if you buy second hand.

What's your location? I have a P4 motherboard with a 2.4ghz Celeron and 512mb RAM. I'll give it to you with a case & PSU for R500. Then you just need to find a hard drive, I might have one of those too.

Another option is a netbook..

I bought one for downloading. It is very small, completely silent and has got a decent harddrive (160Gb - 250Gb). It also has a ton of other uses like web browsing, entertainment on flights/trips etc.

I bought a 1 month old Lenovo S10e with 1.6ghz Atom, 160Gb HDD, 1GB Ram, 6 cell battery(6 hours), webcam, legit Windows XP home for R2000..
