Also what about Dell are thier any good?

that actually seems pretty decent specs for that price, although I've just noticed that there's no monitor with it, so thats £150 on top.

about all I'd say about the philips you posted, would be that if you were buying it as a gaming machine, you should seriously consider a gf card upgrade for it, otherwise looks good.

in reply to Q about dells, they're fine for the casual user who never intends to 'get their hands dirty', and upgrade the comp further down the line.
I hate working on them full stop personally.
even doing something seemingly straight forward can be a pain in the !!!.

What Do you think about the price and the spec of HP desktop. I have found the following:-

This months Computer Shopper magazine has got a round up of about ten computers for approx £500 that might be worth having a look at to check how this computer compares.
