How about this bargain for your new pc Philip ?

Rik · Sep 19, 2008, 10:26:54

That's one heck of a price, David. Shame there are no reviews.

David · Sep 19, 2008, 12:34:29

I drew on the advice you gave me and the spec looks good,I did read a review a little while ago same monitor but smaller and they were very favourable...Just thought it great value

You've spent enough of our money today.

Rik · Sep 19, 2008, 15:10:36

Is that metaphorically or literally, Rik.

Rik · Sep 19, 2008, 15:36:57

Given my cannibalistic antecedents, Ray, it might be either.

The additional memory, if they've use 2x1Gb and 2 spare slots are available should only be about £30-£35.

£25.84 from Crucial, inc p&p

Has to be a good investment.

Steve · Sep 19, 2008, 15:51:58

Good, should run "smoother"

No PC components are good investments!

Rik · Sep 19, 2008, 16:11:06

From a computing perspective?

Sebby · Sep 19, 2008, 16:11:59

I know.

Lance · Sep 21, 2008, 23:31:00

So, philip, what are your views on the bargain priced pc?

for the price, and the PC's specs. I cannot fault it.

It worked straight out of the box, took about 10 minutes to get it all up and running.

The case is pleasant to look at, well built and comes with a silver facia and white sides. Plenty of room to work inside with good scope for upgrading.

Vista Home Premium is brilliant, don't believe all the talk of software/hardware not being compatible, my scanner and printer, both over 3 years old were installed with drivers obtained from relevant manufacturers websites. My favourite software also installed with no problems.

It is also very very quiet, the CPU temps are around 36 centigrade, the motherboard and harddrive run slightly lower, the CPU fan at about 1700 revs.

My only grumble is the rubbish keyboard and mouse that comes with it.

Sebby · Sep 22, 2008, 18:38:01

Glad to hear it. Decent keyboard/mouse combos can be had so cheap these days anyway.
