    Who has the least expensive barebones Compal JHL 90? I'm thinking RJ Tech?

    Which begs the question, which processor:

    • T6400? (2.0ghz, 2mb cache, 800Mhz) which is $115 from RJ Tech, I think that's the cheapest way to a new Core2Duo since they probably buy in bulk...
    • Used Core 2 Duo T#### 800Mhz? ~ $50
    • New Pentium Dual Core T2390 ? - 1.86GHz, 1Mb, 533MHz, P - $50
    • Other suggestions ?

    I'm actually not really concerned with the processor at all, just want something to run office/firefox/some source engine games when I'm away from the 8800 GT (traveling)/summer college courses online (which are expensive)/streaming video.

    How would a T2390 Pentium Dual Core (1.86GHz, 1Mb, 533MHz) & 9600M GT fair in some basic tasks and a tiny bit of gaming until I feel like upgrading?

    from time to time they have surprises .....
    but your price from rjtech is cool.....move on as they probably clear the old parts.....in about month you will find all companies like xoticpc have the same price like rjtech.....
