Let’s continue to look at TigerDirect’s Certificated Desktops. For those of you who haven’t read my earlier post, I’m taking a close look at these so called recertified desktops that you can buy from TigerDirect for about $100-$300 cheaper than retail prices.

Think of buying a certified desktop like buying a used car from an original owner. The original owner pays the upfront full cost; you only pay a fraction of the cost for an almost new car. In today’s economy everybody is always looking to save their previous money.

So if you’re looking to buy yourself one of these budget systems which one should is a good buy? Read the rest of this entry »
