Answer 1

$900 isn't cheap for a computer. $400 is. Trouble with the $400 price point is the video card is going to be flat-out lousy for playing any 3D games at all. Well, it might be okay at 640X480. My suggestion would be to find a refurb or something similar with a Care2Duo chip (speed unimportant, just making sure you've got a modern processor), and then spend another $150 or so on a decent video card. Without the video card upgrade, the most you'll want to do on it is photoshop.

Answer 3

Ha! You want to play Crysis on a computer with 128 MB video card? Good luck with that.



I think all those computers are good deals, but you won't be able to play any high end games with them.
