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 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.

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.

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?

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.

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.
