If you think none of those are good deals her is what I looking for a refurbished 650mhz to 1ghz 30gb min 128ram min decent video card decent sound card usb & network card for $175 or less. Which computer store would you reccommond that sell nice refurbished computers in the range I am looking that will shipp to Houston Tx for a decent price.
 
the best one out of all of them would be the second one.

Even though i hate them all, they would serve your needs fine. but you will need a better graphics card if you plan on using it for games (unless the game is very old).

You can pick up a new box for under $200, I guess... m/b $50, with gfx, LAN, USB, and sound onboard, 256mb RAM $40, processor $40, keyboard & mouse $10. Case & PSU $40. The only extra cost will be the moniter, and you can pick crap ones up really cheap. A 17" CRT shouldn't cost too much either.

Generally refurbished computers are crap value for money, unless you get a decent moniter with it. New boxes cost next to nothing, I was overpricing a bit. Asking for a "decent" video and sound card is asking a bit much for $175 for the entire system though. I guess it depends how you define decent though :p.

I forgot the CD & HD previously, but it still works out around $200. I'm not 100% sure if that motherboard can support the CPU, but spend $10 extra and you'll find one that can. Bear in mind that this is a new 2400+ system. The prices are all UK pounds, I think it's about $1.8 to the pound now, so it's under $200. I'm sure there are places in the US that can do these sort of prices new. This system also looks a lot better than the refurbished ones you were looking at.
