Has anyone heard of any good deals for a PC on Black Friday??

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.

As I can only check online stores right now (and I don't shop at Wal-Mart) I wasn't able to find a NEW PC for $200 and even if I could it wouldn't be running Windows... it would probably be running some version of Linux most likely Linspire which is not compatible with MS Office (but you would get Open Office with it).  That being said... Overstock.com has one right at $200, http://www.overstock.com/?page=proframe&prod_id=1726379 but the specs of it make me shiver (it's a natural reaction for me as I own two gaming PCs and build them on the side).

Read!  Search the web and talk to friends who had built one.  Website like Sharkyextreme.com and pricewatch.com really help out a lot too.  And don't forget those Sunday flyers.  When I built my first PC years ago, I remember it was a little scary.  But every one after that was nothing but fun.  You don't need much skill, just basic knowledge of how a computer works, how to install software, and how to setup BIOS.  :)

There are a nubmer of sites you can check online, look at the sources for some links.\n\nYou can also go to stores like Bestbuy, Circuit City or Staples, although you can get better deals online.\n\nDepending on the card, they can range from as little as $30 to over $1000. However, you can find a very good one for below $200. Just be aware prices drop every couple months or so, when a new model comes out. I bought a card 6 months ago for $170 (An ATI X800GT), and it has dropped about $75 to $90-$110 depending on sales.

Aha! This is a tricky question because not one is absolutely the best at all times! Yes, NewEgg is one of the best...as is Tigerdirect, but so is buy.com and zipzoomfly. Use Pricegrabber.com to find the pc parts you are looking for. They are the best. Not only do they search the lowest price, but show you how much shipping will be and tax if the company includes it (some dont). Which gives you the real total of what your part will cost. Also, they show customer reviews and customer ratings for each business so you can easily know from other customers who's in the good and who's in the bad for buying from. Its Fantastic.Way better than nextag or mysimon or any other search/find engine. Try it out.

try www.newegg.com or www.tigerdirect.com \n\nThey usually have the best prices.  Never buy computer components from ebay unless its a dealer.  I have heard tons of stories about people buying comp parts, and getting junk

buy more from http:/www.newegg.com/

Go to www.stupidcheapcomputers.net.  I buy all of my stuff from them, and everything is Vista ready.  Vista is going to make all of these "bargain" computers that you can buy at Wal-Mart, Circuit City, etc. JUNK when it is released in January.\n\nI bought a complete, new system from them 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\nThey had a system that was designed from the ground up to be a high end graphics/gaming system (their XW9300 series) for less than $800.  You can't beat that.\n\nGood luck!

Why don't you call and check the websites of the major pc manufacturers - including HP/Compaq, Dell, Sony, IBM, Toshiba etc.\nalso check with the guys selling refurbished stuff e.g. JR.com...\nYou should be able to get hold of something soon...\n\nAll the best.

www.pricewatch.com\nThat site has the best deals on the internet when it comes to stuff like video cards. \nIf you buy it at a store, you will pay too much.\nBut you have to know if your mobo has pci, pci express, or agp. AGP or PCI Express would be the best way to go. Get a card with at least 128mb of ram. You can find a good card for around $100 to $150. The Radeon 9800 is a good card, and they've come down in price quite a bit. The Radeon X series are even better. If you want to pay a little more, the x800 is a standard card to have right now.\n\nGood Luck

Try CraigsList...also, if you can wait til x-mas, retailers have been including laptops as lures to entice shoppers.  Last December, Best Buy had nice ones for $199 (after rebates/AOL offer).  Alternatively, keep your eye on www.slickdeals.net

For anyone looking for a monster laptop without extreme pricing, I'd suggest www.xoticpc.com\n\nYou can customize a very powerful machine and less cost than alot of the competition.  When they start putting out dual core machines running Vista, I'll be buying from them.
