If you are after a 17" TFT monitor you can upgrade the above offer for an additional £58

I have this unit for the kids and it is very good for the price.

Cool, so for £468 you get a similar deal (no speakers or extra graphics) to the mispriced ones the other day that were £407.

That means that anyone buying those mispriced ones with the sole intention of selling them on won't be making much :rotfl: Excellent.

Forgive my stupidity but there is no modem with this spec. Is this a problem and if I need one which of the Dell recommended ones should I go for. Also does Microsoft Works 7 allow you to do Word, Excel and Powepoint?

thanks for any help provided.

I wouldn't worry about not having a modem. external ones are very cheap and when signing up for broadband u usually get a free one anyway.

Hope that helps.

Although this machine has a smaller hard disk, no graphics card, no DVD RW, no speakers, no modem, no 9in1 flash card reader and only a 15" TFT screen. I think those people selling the £407 machines on should have no trouble making at least £100 per system profit if not more.

Hi rockman.

I might have a spare modem.

not exactly.

you forgot about the hard drive being a 250gb,the fact it had a dual layer dvd writer,and that it came with the choice of a 256mb x600 video card for just £23.

im betting every £407 machine that people got they made at least £100 on it.

you wouldnt be able to resale that one, especially as ebay will be flooded with the £407 machines

psst....wanna buy one lol

One of the £407 machines just went for £490 on Ebay WITHOUT the 17" screen, which the seller will probably get another £130 for - I make that around £213 gross profit. So maybe not such a bad deal after all?
I'm keeping mine though - get rid of my daughter's old P3 800 and she will get a swanky new machine for about £300 after I've sold all the bits on hers.

Damn, you guys are right, I didn't realise the £407 deal had all those extras hehe

I think the prices on ebay for these machines will lower a bit when there's lots listed -i.e. when people start receiving them. But I agree, there's still decent money to be made.
