I’m not pulling your leg:  Walmart is offering a desktop computer and monitor combo package for just $398!  The Everex Impact GC2500 is bundled with a ton of great features while remaining economical, so it’s something to consider if you’ve wanted to add a second or third computer to your household while not breaking the bank.  The Everex GC2500 comes with a bright, crisp 17″ CRT monitor, plus two external speakers, so your new computer can be up and completely running immediately.  The other great component is a DVD+/-RW drive, so you can record and playback movie, music, and data. 

This value-priced desktop computer is powered by a VIA C7 processor, running at 1.5GHz (with a 256MB cache).  You’ll get 512MB of RAM, but you’re able to upgrade to 2GB if you desire.  The hard drive is a whopping 80GB which will give you enough room for practically everything you can think of — this is a computer you won’t outgrow quickly.  Other nice details include a built-in 56K fax/data modem, a 10//100 Mbps Ethernet LAN card, and six USB ports. 

To top it all off, your Everex Impact computer arrives with Windows XP Home Edition (SP2) and Windows Media Player.  You’ll also get some fun software demos preinstalled, things like Nero 6.3 (for burning DVDs), and Norton Internet Security.  Everex supplies you with a keyboard and mouse, as well.

There’s really no big downside to this bargain computer package.  You’ll receive a 17″ monitor, Windows XP SP2, and a computer with a rewriteable DVD drive, 80GB hard drive, and 512MB of RAM for under $400.  Shipping is free if you have this package shipped to your local Walmart, where you can then pick it up.  This package sells itself, and would make an excellent gift.
