CrunchDeals: Athlon 64 3500+ Vista Desktop for $260

Acer

Feeling skittish on the whole $200 Linux desktop thing? Well for a limited time, $60 more will nab you a much more powerful processor, double the hard drive, a dual-layer DVD burner, and a mouse, keyboard, and speakers. It also has Vista Home Basic.

You’ll need to use the code ASPIRE35 to get the deal. It includes free shipping and the offer ends the last day of the month. It’s refurbished but hey, $260 isn’t brand-new-computer money. Unless you get the currently-out-of-stock $200 Linux computer, that is.
