You’ve just finished designing the perfect home office — a quiet, secluded room where you can telecommute or just enjoy some time surfing the Internet.  Now you need the perfect computer for your home office — nothing over-the-top, no unnecessary gadgets, just a reliable desktop computer which won’t break your budget.  A great choice would be this brand-new, factory-sealed Compaq Presario bundle from SaveAtEagle.com, priced at just $528.25.  It includes a CPU as well as a 17″ CRT monitor and a pair of speakers, so your home office will be fully-functional shortly after the UPS delivery guy deposits this package on your front doorstep.

The CPU runs on an AMD Sempron 3500+ processor (2GHz), and 512MB of RAM (you can upgrade to a maximum of 4GB if you’re running any memory-intensive software programs).  The hard drive is huge at 160GB, so you’ll be hard-pressed to run out of digital storage space.  The graphics card is a quality ATI Radeon xPress, and the integrated audio card has a microphone input, a headphone jack, and two line-in ports.  This low-priced Compaq Presario has a combo CD/DVD-RW drive, and a built-in 9-in-1 memory card reader, both excellent things to have.  You’ll also get the standard array of ports (Firewire, RJ45 LAN, parallel, RJ11 phone jack), and seven USB ports.  You can never have too many USB ports.  Wrapping the entire package together is Windows XP Home edition.

SaveAtEagle.com has free shipping on orders of $250 or more, and this bundle definitely qualifies.  It’s a can’t-lose offer on a cheap desktop computer, and would look great in your new home office.  Tomorrow I’ll take a break from eating turkey to offer suggestions for possible home office laptops.
