Would You Reject A Pre-Built PC Because Of Windows 8
I found an excellent pre-built PC deal. The system uses quality parts and is cheaper than the cost of the separate parts + shipping by $125.00. Plus, I would have to spend time building the PC. The only problem are is it ships with Windows 8 only.
Is Windows 8 a deal killer ?

Yes it is. But if you want the pc just buy Windows 7 and install it. Or find something with Windows 7 installed.
Does it come with a touch screen ? | | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop

No touch screen. Buying Win 7 would bring the price close to building it myself.
It becomes much less of a good deal. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Home Built

In all honesty any PC that only costs $125 including ANY OS has got to be one big piece of K-Wrap.
More then likely a scam. Especially since Windows 8 cost close to or more then that $125.
I personally would not even consider a PC that cost that little.
Caveat Emptor. | | My System Specs | | |

Is there a way to force Windows 7 to reject certain hardware?
