    just make sure you untick the scratch & dent box then filter you will have to look thru alot of pages as there price filter doesnt really work that well. i personally have had 3 recently from them one for me one for the wife and put the father inlaw onto them.

    Don't be smug. :) I posted a suggestion within budget in post #5, but much like yours it's a Pentium Dual Core and not a Core2Duo.

    Saying that, it's not bad value for £400, though I don't much like Dell.

    Sorry, can't read your gobbledegook.
    Would it be pointing out the blindingly obvious to suggest that you take a few more seconds to check your spelling and to add a little punctuation?

    If you don't think it's worth the time to do so, I won't use my time to try to read it.
    Thank you.

    but yes you got me you do have to pay vat i made a mistake. shame the goverment demands that unless anyone can offer a way to beat them at there own game.

    nice to feel the love on this board here it would nice to see the moaners here actually find something (with the exception for donnie but not the moaning!!)

    Being crictal is a very easy any moron can do that! I always told actions speak louder than words. :money:

    btw that was one example at dell outlet the idea was he would go and have a look himself i'm not going to do all the work for him!
