cheap computers

[Son of Clyde]

I am looking for a really inexpensive, but decent,  laptop (it can even be a used one) for maybe $150.00 at the most. Would any of you know of a reputable website that sells used computers? I just want to use the laptop to run Linux so I can free up some disk space on my pc. Thank you.

Try Craigslist.com and search your particular city for deals. Ebay is an option too but watch for scams and people inviting you to deal around e-bay.

If you're just needing storage in a portable device, you can get an external hardrive that'll store hundreds of gigabites for $150.

You might want to check out local computer shows, whenever I need new hardware I look to see when there will be a show nearby: http://www.marketpro.com/

Every show I've attended has had several tables w/people selling used laptops in that price range.
