Notes

From the home page: click on “Computers,” then “Desktops,” and then you can click “Buy Now” on a number of clearly priced, skimpy-on-details computers.

Requires cookies.

From the “Buy Now” button you’re immediately at the shopping cart, ready to check out, but there is no more information.  For instance, the entire information I’ve been given for the amazingly low-priced desktop next to the “Buy Now” button I clicked is the following, as repeated on the shopping cart page:

EVO D310V MICROTOWER CEL1.7GHZ 20GB 128MB XPP 48XCD-ROM

On the other hand, this information is a link; unfortunately it is not an obvious link.  just a little box that under Quantity with a 2 in it instead of a 1.  Returning
