    If you mean the price shown when following the link then that's actually a link to a different site that shows the full spec of the machine that Morgan are selling.

    The actual machine the OP refers to is shown in the PDF newsletter from Morgan which is here: http://www.morgancomputers.co.uk/upload/pdf/E-Flyer_June_06.pdf (3.7MB pdf file) - click to view or right-click and select "Save target as ..."

    PS. FAO Siliconbits - any chance you could include the VAT amount when quoting the prices in the title cause I get all excited then I remember +VAT means you have to add it on and my maths ain't as good as it used to be :o
  • price is approx £270 inc VAT. Not the prettiest, but i'm sure you can get a decent looking tower somewhere :D

    We bought a partriot computer from pc world last year and the price was good for a pretty high specced machine but it was rubbish it took 3 months for the harddrive to fail and then the fan and motherboard went too we ended up going to the local computer shop and told them what we wanted and they built it up for us with o.s and it turned out cheaper than the patriot one.
    The more i save the more i can spend:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    if you follow what morgan sell as refurb pc's the majority of them are patriot and advent which is what pc world sell. that doesnt say much when they seem to sell loads of them. all patriot pc's are built with very cheap parts hence the reason they fail a lot.

    The 9250 chipset graphics card is at least 2 years old.
    A bargain is only a bargain if you would have brought it anyway!
