£700 ?

 

[xtreme_boi]

Well I just wana see what people think is the right price to pay...

As I am tempted to make a purchase!

 

[xtreme_boi]

£700 ?

LOL

You seen the leaflet by any chance?

 

[TheCake]

Well its a good spec machine, whats the equivalent selling for at Dell or PC World?

 

[xtreme_boi]

^ Not too sure, as I have not had a look about yet. I currently got a Samsung V25 Notebook, which has been going strong for years. But now fancy a Desktop, to fill out my desk a bit more...

God forbid.

Looked on PC world £749 so guessed Lidl may have hijacked an artic.

 

[TheCake]

I reckon its worth about £698.

No mention of that on the leaflet...

 

[Timmay]

ah - prob integrated then - so more for offcie use rather than gaming or movies

Where on PC World did you see that?

It was priced @ £749 last year, but has been reduced by £50 to £699 this year...

128mb graphics card aint bad - will be okay for 9 months then would need a 256 at least

sounds like a good system

Tim

Graphics are provided in the shape of a 128Mb GeForce 6600 GT (TARGA edition) card. This is a cut-down version of nVidia's fully-blown 6600 GT card and, as such, didn't perform as well as some similar cards we've seen in the past. But, make no mistake; it will still be able to play the latest 3D games at a respectable resolution with most special effects switched on.[/quote

probably suit you down to the ground then....

id be tempted myself
