    Not bad I guess, though you can see where they've cut corners. The graphics card isn't anything to write home about, it doesn't have wifi, it doesn't have gigabit ethernet, and it only has Windows Vista Home Basic, and doesn't say anything abut it being 64 bit, so it won't use the 4 GB of RAM. It also doesn't give any details about the screen. Sure, 24 inches is pretty big, but if it's a crap screen, you'll just have a big crap picture.

    Tack on the cost of Vista Home Premium, their nVidia GeForce 9500GT card (the cheapest upgrade they have) and wifi, and that brings the total to £688.

    Personally, I'd rather shop elsewhere.
