cheap system for linux? $189.00 no rebates

[mav711]

Hey there, I stumbled across this place that has a great cheap system for linux.

here are the specs, it comes with some o/s called centos but I replaced it with UBUNTU much better linux distro IMHO

FCS SPECIAL - AMD 1400 - 256MB - CD ROM - 20GB HDD - 104KB - MOUSE - LINUX CENTOS O/S - NO MONITOR INCLUDED! 90 DAY WARRANTY - NEW!

Hope this helps someone.. for $189.00 I think it's pretty cheap, well at least it fit my budget. I just wish they had it in a SFF case.

p.s. if anyone has a better deal let me know my friend is looking to buy a system too and I want to make sure he does good too.

Dang, that's a little steep. Just get that Celly D system for ~$200 at BB

I'd have to agree with Playa, that is a little steep for an AMD1400 system w/those specs and a 90 day warranty.

As far as the OS is concerned, CentOS is RedHat Enterprise Linux repackaged by the Community Enterprise OS team - CentOS. It all depends on your application as to what distro is better. CentOS is very well suited for Enterprise level servers. I prefer the new SuSE 10.1 for desktops.

That looks like an old gateway case - does yours look like the picture?

Oh, YGPM regarding the system for a friend

Got one OP! Thanks!

WTB swampland.

 

[mav711]

SPAM elsewhere? excuse me but that's rude. I prefer to use local vendors if I can to get a good price and save myself shipping costs... please ask before you accuse... unbelieveable.

sheesh... my first post and I get flamed?

 

[mav711]

Here's a BUMP..for a modest deal.

I would buy it just for my cisco lab setup. But, I need to feel the power of a socket 754/939 system

Good Luck :thumbsup:

What about his username?

I used to have a couple of Athlon 1400 systems. This CPU runs very hot-I could never get any system to run below the mid-50s C even with very good heatsinks and cases.

This a a rummage sale system, specs wise. If it was selling for $50, maybe it could be considered a hot deal, but not otherwise.

 

[mav711]

hmm, I'm starting to feel like I didn't do all that well...

 

[esquared]

Don't sweat it. Not every thread is great. I've posted threads that I was certain would be a great deals and nobody posted. LOL
Thanks for the effort.
