I need a cheap desktop to run windows xp. I have a program in my office that needs xp to run..buying an updated program is out of the question since it is 20k. Currently it is running off an old dell desktop but it seems like it might die soon. Looking for a cheap desktop to run XP. I have a copy of XP but i need a desktop where that would have drivers for the video and audio .. etc
 
Hmmm, a prebuilt from Dell would probably not work here since they don't have XP drivers for their newer PCs.

FYI, security updates for Windows XP ends on April 8, 2014. So you might want to consider different software altogether or an updated version of that software since it would be a bad idea IMO to run an OS without security updates available.

Anyway, what software is this? Do you have any idea of the hardware requirements? What's your max budget for this PC?

well this computer doesnt go online .. it is used in the backroom of our office to run a foot leveler program. Upgrading the software is not an option. I guess i will have to look on craigslist or something like that in order to buy an old dell or something along those lines
