The link above is from Tiger Direct in Canada (where I live)
I am wondering are these prices real.
Can a person really order a computer for $190 or a bit more and get a computer out of the deal?
Are there strings attached? Is it a scam?

That doesnt look like a scam because its refurbished, it has no os, its only a 200 watt power supply, and it only has a 30 gig hard drive

tigerdirect is a well-established company, no question there. However, as breakthesilenc21 said, it's a pretty crappy computer, especially since no OS comes with it

Thanks
How many watts of power should I look for??
30 Gig is more than enough for me.

It's a great computer for Internet/office maybe even too fast, lol j/k
But for $190 Canadian u know u can't find anything better. U can buy used one a little better for $300. If u want websites for used computer classifieds then pm me and I'll send u links.
