$135 and $160 Desktop PCs - I wouldn't sell them if they weren't a decent deal.

I didn't advertise this much before my last trip to Albuquerque, but I've just finished setting up the first of two PCs that are looking like a pretty good deal for the 2 guys that they these PCs are going to.  Both gentlemen had a monitor and keyboard and mouse from previous systems that they were replacing this with. If you want to get in on the next Albuquerque trip, email or call me.

The gentleman I get this from is Brian at Albuquerque Computer Recyclers in ABQ at Edith and Montano. He has fully built systems too He adds cd writers and dvd writers to his systems,  and sells the $135 systems for around $150 after he installs the Drivers and Windows. I install all of the windows updates and run the chipset and BIOS updates and add the additional software, including antivirus software that I don't believe he installs.  If you're after a burner though, he has them in his systems before he lets them go to systems he sells to guys like me to resell.

With the upgrade to 1GB Ram $160
