Title: Would you call this a good price?
Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on March 03, 2004, 04:31:14 am

I'm after a new machine, and after a minimal amount of research I've found this.

Opinions please.
Bear in mind I'd be using the vid card (Radeon 9800), monitor and crap from my current machine.

Well since you're using your old gfx card and "crap"  I'd say go for it. Looks pretty good.

To clarify, by "crap" I mean the mouse, kb, speakers, case fans, etc.

:lol: I knew what you meant, I'd do it too. Except for the gfx card, except for that.

It looks okay, I don't like that VAT tax thingy you guys put up with, but it look like a decent value.

[color=cc9900]Sales tax is a doddle, I can just use my dad's company credit card (VAT can be reclaimed) and give him the non-VAT cash. Sorted.[/color]

that looks like a good system. Its better then the POS gateway we got, at about half the price. id upgrade the ram later tho even 512 is a little slow on XP machines

I believe it worths the money. I wish I had a machine of that configuration!

325 pounds? I calculated it to Hungairan forints, so that I had something to compare to . . It definitely worths that amount of money!

Go and buy it! I will give you a whole pot of beer if you buy it. :D
