Probably OK but don't count on being able to upgrade it to play games. Cheap computers like that might be missing expansion slots or have really wimpy power supplies.

I figured that, I just need it to run a word processor and let me post on 4chan and IM with friends, if it will last me 6 monts doing that im good
I don't into vidya

I thought Pentiums were OK and it was the atoms and celerons that were bad
can you recommend a better tower for $99 with free shipping because that's kind of the price range I'm in
Looks fine. I recommend installing Windows 7 or 8.1 when you get this, since 8 is move of a tablet OS.

thanks for the advice

OP you sound like a big guy

eBay isn't that bad, just make sure you read the item description thoroughly and buy from consistently great sellers
Get a refurb from Newegg.
I got one with a Core 2 Duo and 4GB RAM for $90.
I trust Newegg a little more than some random seller on eBay.

Get a used tower for cheap and it comes with a Windows Pro license and a computer for less than the actual license.

Desktops > Filter by Refurbished > Sort by price (ascending)

Mine even came with a mouse and keyboard.
>>56380262
that won't work he needs to run windows
Honestly that's pretty good for $99.

You can do that, or be an autist like me and check the new Eggbreaker deals every morning at 3am EST

If it's in your price range just get it OP, it's not too bad really.
Any reason why you aren't just nabbing a laptop though?

I'm not even a footfag, but those little piggies are cute.

>Any reason why you aren't just nabbing a laptop though?
because I can't find a $99 laptop that's not a used 8inch netbook
I already have a monitor and keyboard, if I could find a 13inch+ laptop for 99 i would get that

Thinkpad T60/t60p/t61/t61p
That desktop will have better specs though. If you up your price to $200 you can get a niceish T420 with a faster processor.
>t420 low end i5 and high end i7 vs that desktop's cpu
https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare.php?cmp%5B%5D=1839&cmp%5B%5D=796&cmp%5B%5D=876
Avoid T420i because i3 processor unless its a really good deal. If you can get a T420s, go for it, its only draw backs are that it has a soldered on cpu and a bit less battery.

>Thinkpad T60/t60p/t61/t61p
for $99?
i thought thinkpads were high end shit
>>56381362
10 year old thinkpads are cheap and usable for light shit while runnin lubuntu. 5 year old thinkpads with 2nd gen intel processors are still usable as daily devices.
