Looking to get a cheap desktop, doesn't have to be anything fancy just has to be under $300. New York City area is preferable.

A friend of mine asked for a cheap system at work.

I put together some parts for him on Newegg and it came in at right around $290 .

AMD 2.3 ghz processor
1 gig memory
160 gb hdd
dvd burner
wireless card
msi barebones case

Not bad for a brand new computer
