Is there a place where I can buy a computer that has Windows XP and internet capability? It needs to be cheap.

See if your town has a 'Thrifty Nickel' kind of free newspaper.  They usually have listings for used computers and accessories.  I bought an older IBM computer with Win98 and a decent monitor for $90 from a man who bought a bunch of computers from a local college.  If you can live without XP, you might do better.  You can still access the Internet and do word processing on older operating systems.\n\nIf you want to buy new, try a place like Office Depot for EMachines desktop PCs.  They've been offering some really good rebates lately.  When we get our rebates back, our new computer with XP, monitor and Canon printer will only cost $300.

When you are ready to buy a new system, go to www.stupidcheapcomputers.net.  I buy all of my stuff from them, and everything is Vista ready.\n\nMicrosoft is about to release its latest operating system, Vista, in January.  It’s going to make all of these “bargain” computers nothing but JUNK as soon as it’s released.  The reason that you are seeing so many cheap systems on the market right now is because a lot of them CAN’T RUN Vista and the merchants are trying to dump them as hard and fast as they can before Vista shows up and everyone learns what a piece of crap they were sold for $500 (or whatever).\n\nAnyway, I bought a complete, new system from stupidcheapcomputers.net with a warranty for LESS than it would cost me to build it myself or order a custom one from the manufacturer.  You can use my frequent buyer code: ATX926.  That will get an additional 10% discount at checkout.\n\nI have NEVER had any problems with anything that they have sold me and their customer service is outstanding.  Those guys blow my mind.\n\nGood luck!

Apple has some absolutely fantastic new laptops out that can run both the critically acclaimed Mac OS x, and Microsoft Windows XP.\n\nI would suggest you check out an Apple store, or the online store.

That will run XP easily enough although it won't be very punchy.\n\nAn extra 256Mb of RAM (cheap as chips from Crucial / Kingston) will help no end.\n\nAs long as you are paying no more than 150 GBP for it then it is a good buy.

Unfortunately this computer is so old, that even the case itself and power supply will not be compatible with new parts.\n\nAlso, it will be cheaper to buy a new computer.  If you don't need lots of tech support, then get a computer cheaply from http://www.pricewatch.com \n\nThere are lots of system builders out there that will sell you a basic computer with Windows XP Home or Pro for a pretty reasonable price.\n\nWhen getting a new computer:  Pay a little more (not too much more)  and get one with 512MB RAM, SATA Harddrive  (It will say SATA...if it doesn't say Serial ATA or SATA, then it isn't SATA).\n\nIf you aren't going to use it for games, then you don't really have to worry much about the video card.

Buy an authetic one from eBay.  It will be cheaper.  Instead of $300 for XP home edition, you can get it for about 80 to 90 bucks on eBay.\n\nOnce you get it, install it and you will have a clean and autheticated installation and full support from microsoft as well as your boot discs.

go to DELL.com, they have great prices on desk tops and laptops.  Not worth buying one second hand.

Anyone is gonna tell you this one, Ebay! duh! Or you can look into a computer store, sometimes they are cheaper than the actual name brand places. If your local wal-mart has something, try it. But, Ebay is probably your best bet for anything. And if you don't find it immediatly, then keep looking. If you start to need it quick, check into a computer store near you.\n    That should do it!

I buy computer equipment from two sites and nowhere else (ever).\n\nhttp://www.tigerdirect.com\nhttp://www.newegg.com\n\nYou can usually get a decent PC from either of those for half (or less) of what you'd pay at Best Buy or Circuit City.

Go to dell.com,you can choose a base laptop, then customize it to your needs and they are pretty cheap.\n\nFor on the road internet access, get a Verizon wireless card, it costs about 90 bucks for the card and you can get internet pretty much anywhere.\n\n\nyes, it allows you to acces broadband internet almost anywhere you could think of, it's really cool and i think i might get one....
