Windows 7 PC

[Waitey]

Hi Guys,

I need a new PC for my rents office.

It needs to be around £500 inc monitor. Has to be slimline. It also needs to be running windows 7.

Would pref something with an i3 or i5 in it.

Can you help, I can't find anything.

Seems fine to me for that price! If possible I would maybe try and get a DVI monitor as the picture is much better on DVI.

I'd ditch that SSD and just go for a better monitor, the OCZ ssd's are pants.

Went for this monitor in the end to get DVI and some speakers.

I disagree, got them ocz's at work in over 20 pc's and they hammered and no failures yet. OCZ maybe were poor at the start when ssd's where first coming out but they have improved massively.

Each to their own Personally I'd only go for Crucial/Samsung for now but it's all down to opinion atm ^^

Wha? They're awesome! The Vertex models seem better than the Agility, but by no means are they pants.

I have to disagree too! Mines not failed me yet, touch wood. Couldn't imagine my load times / pc any faster than it. It may not be no Samsung/Crucial in benchmarks, but it is a great drive for the money.

Doubt you would notice that much difference between VGA and DVI at that resolution. Also +1 for OCZ SSD's. I have 2 Vertex 2's and they have been faultless. I do know though that officially OCZ SSD's do have the highest failure rates of all SSD's.
