For you, the cheapest PC you will probably find is at a recycling center. Now if you want a brand new one I really recommend that you look for some merchant's web sites. This is not a merchant's web site.

A second-hand one as all have said, is the best. But while you are not bothered with screen and ram, you want to use it for CAD. Which package ? Makes some difference. My experience is with SolidWorks 3D CAD. Minimum RAM for good working is 2GB. i have a Dell Inspiron 6000 of 2005 vintage, 15.4" screen with 1920x1200 resolution. Good performance even without a graphics card.

If i get a new long-term contract, i might upgrade to the latest Dell Precision laptop. In which case, i may be willing to sell this one. Not less than Rs 20k though.

Heh...my lap doesn't have any electrical stuff. Somewhere nearby there i had some stuff, a long time ago...now only memories, electrifying ones

Seriously though, i will only upgrade it if and when i get a lucrative long-term contract.

Watch this space.

r u leaving in tribal areas or jungle.

Just open any news paper classified section . you will get plenty of options.

this is not the place for trade . Some serious technical discussions is always here.

Use this platform to upgrade Or share your technical knowledge. No trade or sily timepass questions.

I request ,moderator of this site, should carefully chose the questions. Because i found that discussions remains alive for max. one week. Because members get involved in other discussions everyday.

I think you need to be more specific about what kind of CAD you intend to run. Lots of CAD programs can be very demanding of hardware and screen resources.
