Green PC

[Captain Sensible]

I am thinking of buying a PC from an organization called Green PC. They sell second hand reconditioned PC's cheap to people with a health care card.



I have a few questions.


1. Has anyone heard anything good or bad about Green PC?

2. What sort of computer should I be thinking of getting? I have fairly basic needs I just want to word process and use the internet. I wont be running any games that take up lots of space or anything.

Thanmks in advance.

If that isnt it put 'Green PC' into google and you will find it.

Never heard of them

For what you need you should be able to get a reasonable PC for a good price

Say, Pentium II 450ish
64-128MB RAM
Basic Video/Sound Card
External Modem

Something like that would cost you a couple of hundred, no more... the Word Processing software may cost a bit though - unless you manage to source a copy from someone *ahem* externally

They look pretty good.

One of those Pentiums1's with monitor keyboard everything is going for only $90, not a bad deal.

Fo word processing and internet, would probably go for:

PIII 550
128MB RAM
8GB Hard Drive

I wouldn't go for anything slower as you will end up using the computer for something else as well....
