I offer excellent deals on refurbished computers. Prices are always under $200.00 for the computer, keyboard and mouse. Look at these MPC quality computers with Intel motherboard, Intel P4 HT chip and plenty of excellent software to keep you going.
2.8ghz Intel P4 chip with 1gb ram, 40gb hard-drive, dvd/cdrw, XpPro, Office(word, powerpoint, outlook, excel, publisher and infopath), full anti-virus and mainentance tools that I install on every computer.
$160.00 cash or credit card

For the smaller version the Intel chip is slightly faster at 3.0ghz HT . This system is $170.00

I have computers in this price range all the time and XpPro is still the most popular software available.
