Desktop pc advice

Was looking to replace my 5 year old desktop pc and came across this deal

http://www.ebuyer.com/product/161640

I only use the pc for surfing and watching online video's i am sure it will be ok despite a 1.66kz processor and 1gb ram should help but before I take the plunge is it an ok pc for daily basic everyday use?

thanks peeps:money:

    It sounds like a netbook in a pc case! Only 1 memory slot.
    Don't think you will be able to upgrade anything.

    Perosnally i wouldn't touch it. It's running XP, I'd be looking for something that's running Windows 7 and had more RAM than that. The hard drive is small by modern standards as well.

    The Atom processor in it is really designed for netbooks.

    As ddoris says it's basically a netbook in a tower case. It may well be good enough for what you want but it wouldn't be my choice.
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die
