Here’s an inexpensive desktop computer bundle that would make a wonderful holiday gift.  For just $499.99, you’ll receive a brand new HP dx2200 desktop PC, as well as a HP Deskjet F380 All-In-One printer, from TigerDirect.com.  The HP Deskjet F380 All-In-One lets you print, scan, and copy (in color or black and white).  copy and resize images, print photos, or scan documents on the flatbed with ease.  The optional six-ink system gives you added flexibility if you decide to do a lot of color printing.  This printer is built for use in a business environment, and it’s definitely suitable for home office use as well.

HP describes the computer as a “business desktop“, and it doesn’t skimp on features.  It comes with a Pentium 4 3.06GHz CPU with Hyperthreading, 512MB of DDR2 RAM, and a massive 160GB SATA II hard drive.  That’s twice as large as the average hard drive on most desktop computers.  Integrated graphics are provided by ATI, but if you want to perform more processor-intensive video tasks, there’s an available PCI Express x16 expansion slot for a more powerful graphics card.  The choice to expand is up to you.  This desktop PC also has a CD-RW/DVD-ROM combo drive, and integrated LAN, plus six USB ports.

As this is a business desktop, it of course comes with Windows XP Professional SP2 pre-installed.  Don’t let the name fool you, though — any home PC owner would be happy to have this desktop computer, especially at just $499.99 from TigerDirect.
