New PC

Philip · Sep 13, 2008, 10:26:51

thinking of getting one of these the spec looks good for the price, the only downside I can see is the PSU is only 300w, I can replace that with the 500w I have spare. I don't play games on my PC so the lack of a major graphics card is no problem.

Not bad for £299, any thoughts?

I'd buy that, Philip, fast!

It looks like an absolute bargain for £299. The PSU does look a little underpowered, but it must be ample.

I'm off to persuade SWMBO, double club card points should swing it

The only problem maybe that a standard PSU may not fit into the Dell case.

Rik · Sep 13, 2008, 11:27:06

Well spotted, Wilson.

I thought that too, but according to Dell as long as it's a standard ATX with at least 4 SATA connectors I will be OK

Dont worry about the case Philip get the largest psu and just aim it at the other half to cool her down........(double club card points) hadnt thought of that one)

Philip · Sep 13, 2008, 17:53:24

the deed is done, pick it up Monday afternoon

David · Sep 13, 2008, 17:55:33

Well done Philip.................struck a victory for the brotherhood

Remember a PC is not just for now its for life

Enjoy

widescreen ?

David · Sep 13, 2008, 17:59:23

Samsung is brilliant but watch out for Rik he is to selling what hot water is to a teabag

Philip ! have you seen the price of those Eizo, you would need more than a clubcard for one of these.....I would need a miracle

Rik · Sep 13, 2008, 18:16:44

Definitely widescreen, Philip, a nice 24" Eizo at a native resolution of 1920x1200 will be perfect for you. They're only about £1,000.

Think carefully Philip.....

Rik · Sep 13, 2008, 18:24:39
