[ged]

hey, i was looking on ebay for a cheap desktop, that would be used exclusively for word processing and internet browsing.
i found this, does it come with a hard drive, if not where could i get one for it?:

No hard drive that I can tell. SCSI drives ain't cheap.

I'd step away from the deal.

A 23GB SCSI? I hope I read that wrong.

" x2 3GB Scsi"
Is what it says...weird....
I'd step away too. SCSI drives are expensive, so is the RDRAM that it uses. When you want to upgrade that you'll spend more on new ram than on the computer. Find something that uses DDR memory and either IDE or SATA for hard drives.

i also have 512MB spare RAM, which I bought for my computer which is now broken:

if I could install this into any of them that would be good.

The sdram you've got should work with the Dell Optiplexes that you've linked, those those seem a bit overpriced. Personally I think the best deal is this one:

I would recommend upgrading it to 1gb of ddr ram sooner or later. ou can probabl sell the sdram you've got for about the same price.
