Where can I get a GOOD cheap or free computer?!?

I need a computer...mine is 12+ years old and probably has a family of trolls living inside at the moment. In fact, I have no idea how this p.o.s. runs internet. Please, please help me. I mean seriously, how many people actually get lag on solitaire?!?! I DO! and I'm not proud of it... :( This is my last resort next to just robbing the neighbors...again. Ha, ha. I'm serious. Yes, I am. :P So please people, help my neighbors out and help me save some jail time...your taxes do pay for it after all.

    Honestly? Find a university in the area. Find out when the end of the semester is, and then during that week, go hang out by the dorms. They should have huge dumpsters (big enough to fit a truck into) in the back of the dorms for garbage. But you see, when students arrive at college, they buy stuff to liven up their rooms and help w/ their studies. But when they go home (even if just for the summer), they don't have room in their cars for all the junk they've accumiliated, so they throw it away.

    I'm serious here! And the summer break semester is the best time to look.

    Source(s): Last year I got a 19" screen TV and a crappy computer (but it worked). My college roommate & I even carried home a couple of living room sets (I'm talking couches, chairs, computer desks, lights)...they also often throw away futons, beds...dude, you name it.

    Dell Outlet computers.....they are computers that someone has ordered but cancelled before they ship, computer they returned after it got to their house or computers that have dings or scratches on the outside. These PCs carry the same warranty as any of their other computers and go thru a second round of testing before they leave the plant on the way to your house. If you go to the screen where you see all desktops, sort by price and refresh the screen every few seconds you'll then see some deals pop up for a new desktop under $ 200 with $ 19 to ship it. I've bought a few that way and the PCs have been just fine. :)

    Go to a locally owned Computer shop and ask for a refurbished PC. It's making a old PC function like a modern for at least half the price, depending on what your looking for. Or find one in the paper and have your the local G33K tweek it for you.......

    I don't know about free, but Best Buy and WalMart run some good sales on computers. You could also check out Overstock.com, QVC.com and HSN.com.
