Hi all, I'm looking to replace an ageing Dell (as it clunking and clicking all over the place), and although I'm pretty au fait with PC's and building them myself, I can't say I'm up to speed with branded units.
I've seen this Philips base unit (HEPC 8512) for what seems like a decent price for a decent spec.
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Processor
<LI class=indentFeature>2.4GHz, 1066MHz FSB, 8MB Cache <LI class=indentFeature>Vista Home Premium3GB Memory
500GB Hard Drive
DVD Rewriter
NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GS Graphics
6 USB connections
Media Card Reader
Anything I should look out for? Any other advice?
Thanks all.

The only thing I can say is that these PCs aren't made by Philips. The Dixons group must have done a deal to rebadge some PCs with the Philips name. I remember sometime ago someone having a problem. They phoned Philips who said they don't make PCs and no PCs are listed on their website.0
