Is this any good? PC that it.

Well I have yet another PC that is slow.. I get up and the first thing I do is turn the pc on. I then, have a wash, get dressed, make a cuppa, roll a smoke, SMOKE it and the pc is still warming up. I then sign in my email and have time to first my cuppa before its logged in.. PC is OLD so I'm thinking of bidding on this? Any good or not..

Depends what it is you neeed.... but I suspect that will go for around £200..... for that much you might as well build your own with decent bits from Ebuyer... atleat then you have a guarantee that all the parts will work properly...

If that goes for less than £200, it will be a good deal. I'd love a 24" monitor, and you'd struggle to build one to that spec with a monitor for anything like that money.

A friend of mine asked me to build him a base unit for his home office and I told him to get one of the cheap ebuyer units. The Zoostorm at £199.99 is a good basis for browsing and anything else you want as long as you are not into heavy duty gaming. You need an OS for it but you could download Linux and learn to use it.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

To be honest it's not that bad for under £200. It's easy to say that you could build it for 200 quid but that's pub talk - it's got a £50 PSU, £60-&70 CPU, £130 for an HD monitor etc etc......

Don't expect it to rock with gaming but it'll pop along nicely for everything else. This board will take faster ram and with the PCIe slot you could easily add a graphics card to scratch any gaming itch. Might be worth asking if the monitor has an HDMI slot.

good luck

Cheers guys.. I won't be using it for gaming.. Have my PS3 for that. It's just normal home use plus business use. Currently all my invoices are done on this pc and I do have a load of photos stored on here which I guess could be taking up a load of space.
So general view is if I can get it for around £200 then it could be a good buy. I think I may risk it for 200 quid..

You could never build that for £200, and if it goes for only £200 I'll eat my hat. Looks a good spec and all quality bits.

It's already at £142 with over 12hrs to go. I reckon it'll go for at least £300.......

£200! monitor alone would be worth nearly that and being a dell the build quality should be ok as well, personally i would pay a bit over £200 for it if necessary.
