    Save up your cash and just go all out and buy something nice. You wont get much of anything for 250...

    Microcenter has $200 off everything instantly if u buy Vonage. I've seen a PC for $50. Without the rebate it would still make your budget, although its a celeron based computer but as long as you use it for basic computing it won't matter.

    Trouble is, he was talking about $.
    €244.50 = $310.89

    And you forgot minor details like the case, PSU, Optical Drive
    .
    Political correctness is based on the principle that it's possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
