Is this a good deal?
I'm looking into building my 1st PC. I want to experiment with cheap/budget stuff and I found this on tigerdirect.com:
Mach Speed Matrix P4M800 Via Socket 478 MicroATX Motherboard and an Intel Celeron D 340 2.93GHz Processor Price: $139.99 Less Rebate: - $80.00 Final Price: $59.99* http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...MBM-P4M800-340 I'm will basically use my PC for microsoft office, web browsing and watching movies. Can I do better than this combo listed above? |

Mach Speed is not known to be a quality motherboard brand. I wouldn't trust it. And it's a VIA chipset, another negative. Plus, that price is dependent on rebates, which is yet another question mark.
I'd also avoid shopping at TigerDirect. They do not have a very good rating at www.resellerratings.com, and many people here have had problems. Last edited by doctorgonzo; 12-01-2005 at 10:41 AM. |
