PC buying help

[Lagerlout]

I've been looking for a new PC for a while now and saw this advert in the paper today.

Is this any good for the money? It looks it to me. I know ALDI is a bit of a cheapo shop, but the components listed appear to be branded.

http://www.aldi.co.uk and click on computer base station.

I thought about getting the 17" TFT from there too.... 8mS response time

TIA

No warranty. Smaller HDD. Only one optical drive. No card slots. No Tv. No remote control. No wifi. But it does look nice.

What's wrong with the one above?

u'll need a new graphics card for a start. just screams "buy me, i know nothing about computers and want to get skanked cos it has a remote control and nice buttons"

why do u need wifi, u got a network in ur house?

no card slots? in what way? and why do u need 2 optical drives?

Your making completely the wrong assumptions youth.

I don't want it to play games on.

I have a wireless network in my house already.

It has card slots for memory cards. two DVD drives would be nice for on the fly recording etc.

ok fair enough, spend away!

I got mine this time a couple of years ago and it's been a great machine for the price I can recommend if you don't want to build one yourself.

Cheers Youth.

We were so impressed as it goes, that my brother got himself one the next time they were on offer.

Whats wrong with the graphics card on it? Ive been trying to look it up the web, but cant find much info about it.

the computer I've got in the moment was from aldi a couple of years ago, and has been brilliant, but quite fancied the new one too.

also been looking at the sites where they build one to your spec, but I dont really know enough about computers to say what I want really.
