I googled it, found alot of options like rent a center and such. But alot of them dont do credit checks, have 0 apr and have basic computers. Im going to contact a few sites, one tho seemed very basic with about 4 computers as selection. While none of them were quad core, they said that alot of their builds were custom so im going to call them on monday. Also going to call rent a center and the such see if I can get a computer for about 60 bucks a month.

There are also places that lease more powerful systems such as workstations to companies, have you checked on how much they charge?

With rent/lease, upkeep, and utilities, would that be any cheaper than using Amazon AWS or other shared hosting service?

Well I talked to one who had an online chat. Only one, I was tired at the time. Point being I was looking at a i5 quad that was like 19 bucks a week, the difference and only differnce being that if you pay it off in three months you dont have to pay the rental fee. So the computer was 450, not a bad price for a desktop with all the components, but then the renting fee was 500 bucks. I mean im not sure if all of them are like that, but if you dont pay it off in three months forget about it, your spending 500 dollars worth of interest. But this was the site, I persoanlly cant afford 150 a month currently, but Im getting playstation vue, a cable modem so I dont have to rent mine, and a service called magic jack that has 5 years of phone for 99 dollars. Taking what was a 154 dollar cable bill down to 70 bucks. Playstation vue is a tv service if you havent heard of it, its brand new so its alot better than other such services in my opinion. Plus your money goes to japan who suffered 3.11.11. Yea, I build computers so ill probably just stick to that, its alot like legos, everything is plug and play. but just so you know heres the site I went to where you can pay off any and all computers for base price in three months. I think they have a wide selection. Just dont miss a payment or wait to long to pay it off or youll be eating ramen for the rest of your life.

On a brighter note, the internet is full of billions of webpages. Im sure if you looked hard enough you might be able to pay it off in 4 or 5 months, or even rent on a reasonable scale. I am unintrested right now because I have a 4660 that just needs ram to be up and running, tho I also need a platinum power supply eventually. I guess ram should be at the top of my list when I get paid in 10 days. :D

cloud computing=20 bucks a day
renting=20 dollars a week

If you're talking about places like Aaron's, that's the business they are in. They make (lots of) money off people who are desperate enough to rent something now, rather than save up the money to buy it a little later for cheaper.

these days with new cpu release cycles averaging perhaps 6 months or less, i'd guess, if you shop around, you may be able to get a 'hand me down' used PC for a cheap bargain which may well be quite a performer :)

As far as second hand used to go.. I used to use dell outlet, then timo pointed to lenovo in general, I noticed they also have an outlet. They are charging 350 for quad core i5 complete builds. Which if you figure out a i5 chip is worth 200 bucks, and a copy of windows 100, I would say if you arent builting a multi gpu computer, your be better off. Alot better off. But then again if you build a multi gpu machine, you would be alot better off on points generated, as well as power saved. ya digg.

renting=20 dollars a week

Better save those 20 dollars and in few months you can simply buy such computer, which will than run for several years. Renting is very expensive unless you need something only for a short time.
