fry's or newegg has great deals on barebone systems that can function. the quality of the actual components is not always the best. tigerdirect too.

I hate to say it, but I would reccommend E-Bay. There is some very good deals going around there. (I saw a couple I-Macs going for a 1.75 in Buy-It-Now!). If not, you should actually build your own system. It often cuts off a lot of the price and you can create a 10x faster machine than what you can buy off the shelf.

Tigerdirect.com has really great barebone systems for a really reasonable price. They can even come with motherboard + processor, RAM, sometimes a hard drive, and even dvd drives. Sometimes all you need is a monitor. And all there stuff is really cheap. I would check them out if i was you. I have bought some stuff from then before. Very good place.

i dont think ebay for "barebones" isnt reliable. those people could have bought a barebone, and swapped in a worse motherboard or something, and then sold it for less.

tigerdirect would still be my first choice.

JC05, the definition of a barebone system is one that has the parts needed to "start up." That would include motherboard, processor, ram, and harddrive. they usually chip in a cd/dvd drive too.
