Answer» Could anyone share their own personal experience buying a barebone computer system online with services like ebay...etc... ? Was it a decent buy ? Is the quality of the components fairly good ? ThankseBay is one option, but there are others - Newegg, Tigerdirect, Computer Geeks, etc. I prefer companies rather than individuals for a system, but that's just me.I agree, I was checking newegg ALL DAY today, the reviews by the buyers is great and insightful. Ebay had some pretty darn good " buy it now" prices. I couldn't build it any cheaper than I would checkout the MOBO the barebone system had installed and the reviews were terrible for the mobo though everything else was just fine. It seems one or the other has some type of drawback to it, I guess that is why they are so cheap !

I prefer companies rather than individuals for a system, but that's just me.I agree, I was checking newegg ALL DAY today, the reviews by the buyers is great and insightful. Ebay had some pretty darn good " buy it now" prices. I couldn't build it any cheaper than I would checkout the MOBO the barebone system had installed and the reviews were terrible for the mobo though everything else was just fine.

at least 40 gig hdd

1.7ghz processor

onboard sound video will work if your not doing any gaming or audio or video editing

those are my standards for a barebone system, but it DEPENDS on what you are wanting to do now and in the furture

make sure everything can be upgraded later.

get an ok mobo that can support 2 or gigs of ramQuote

Might make more sense to go with 512MB of RAM and a larger hard drive or faster processor. As you said, "depends on what you are wanting to do now and in the furture."
