do any of you guys know where to get info about a computer?? my sister won a computer at a local radio station and just has to pay shipping and handling fees on it!! well she recieved it today and was billed for $375!! now she wants to know if its worth keeping it (she hasnt payed the $375)

its a: ALPHA SCAN 712 monitor
IBM PERSONAL COMPUTER 300 PL horizantel tower
with WINDOWS ME os

kind of an ugly computer if you asked me!! it makes all sorts of noises, but seems to work fine!!

P.S. i can do the searching if you guys can tell me where to look!!

 

return it.

how the hell is she being charged 375 for a computer that she won? shipping and handling couldn't have been more than 50 bux.

I'm thinking return it?

 

looks like she got ripped

 

model # km 712

and about the expenses i have no clue as to why its so much!! thats why she's making sure its worth it!! who knows maybe they shipped it from Tibet or something??

 

anything free has some strings attached, try to look at the proccessing speeds, harddrive space, video cards, etc... if it's something youve never heard of dont go for it.

 

Depending on the specs, it may or may not be a decent deal... But I think She is getting ripped off... I say SEND IT BACK!

 

heres some specs that i've found on it.

again not worth the 375, return it and buy a custom built PC. or Dell

 

that computer is worth no more than $50. h:

you should just buy a bigger hard drive.....check sig.

 

lol, pull the hd then return it.
