Hi Tim!

Welcome back.

To add to the good suggestions already given, Newegg is another good place to consider. They ship fast and have good customer support when that is needed. I like their site. It's helpful, educational and accessible. They have a wide price range, so you should be able to find something affordable for you.

I don't know if you are looking for a laptop, netbook or desktop PC, so here are links to my search pages.

Desktop Computers

Laptop Computers, Notebooks

Netbooks

http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=772&name=Netbooks

Whatever you're looking for, read reviews so you know what you're getting. That way, you can find the right thing for you. It's time well spent, and some of the reviews are amusing as well as many being informative.

Hi Tim,

We bought a brand new Toshiba laptop through Sam's club online with a 350 Gb hard drive, 16 inch screen, fast AMD chip, 2 Gb RAM, a DVD burner, wireless and regular networking built in, all kinds of ports and bells and whistles with windows 7 factory installed for $388 total including shipping and a 3-year warranty. Sams Club has some really good prices on new laptops and desktop computers, and that might be another option for you, if you can't find a good cheap used computer.

Hi Tim,

Glad you're back.

Hope you can find a computer you like and can afford when the time comes.

I've bought my last several off of eBay. No operating system installed, quad core, 4 gb ram, with card reader for just over $400 after shipping. If you can install your own copy of Windows, or whatever operating system you like, that's a really cheap way to go.

Just a suggestion.  In case it helps.

Mayrie

Hi All,

We have a winner!! Jamie's guess was correct. My power supply died (just because I used to leave it on all the time, why should it die?) (grin)

It's a very old Dell, 8 to 10 years. I was advised that in about another 6 months it will kaput for good. I'll have to start saving for a good used one. It's also getting slow because of age.

Well, I'm back for now, anyway. I can proof for awhile longer.

Tim
