PC Help. Two ex demo machines in PC World

[jon_r]

Hi guy's. Wandered into PC World at lunch and they had two machines that were ex demo on the clearance table. Are they any good, or worth the money?

Packard Bell 1539 was £299
and the Packard Bell 1309 was £229

Neither had a monitor.

The PB 1539 seems to be the better machine, are all the other peripherals and accessories with the tower?.

I must admit I didn't ask the guy what came with them. It just said ex-display on the tag. Looks like its an £80 saving then. Decisions decisions.

Depends on the store, if it has been looked after or not.

IMO, after working in retail, I would but NOTHING off display.
