I don't know anything about this iBuyPower site, but is it a pre-built computer that you customized?
I would suggest custom-building one and ordering parts off of Newegg to get the full bang for your buck.
It's a base computer that you can change every detail, from the processor, to the RAM, to simply what mouse comes with it.
any nearby relatives? i'm sure your grandma or someone would be willing to give you money washing her car or cutting her lawn or something. old people always seem to have money to spare.
My grandpa is 20 minutes away but I'm moving to Los Angeles friday.
sell your old computer and use that to get a new one.
But I need my widdle laptop :c
do you not know a single person outside your own house? do you not have any neighbors at all?
I have neighbors, but I don't know even ONE of them except a mechanic who lives across our alley.
Hmm, turns out the one I wanted isn't for sale anymore. Anyway, with customization it'll probably be around $700.
