I think that is a great little PC for that money, go for it. My dad got a Zoostorm and its fine.

HotUKDeals are showing a hot deal at Misco for a similar system

£480 for this represents good value. I think the graphics card alone is 100+ quid. Would love to know which mobo and chipset its running but either way sounds good to me

Zoostorm PCs use Foxconn mATX mobos. Foxconn is a pretty good make.

Actually I agree with Mobeer, that Fujitsu from Misco is higher specced and a lot cheaper. It even has a BluRay player.

This PC is running Vista - Vista is dead.Win7 is both better and there is much less demand on front end resourse. VGA is ATI which is developed around AMD and this is an intel core so slower translations.

I cant see why this PC is better than the original. It's different

The chipset is irrelevant. Part of the PCI Express architecture is full testing for compatibility, compliance and performance in line with the PCI Express standards.

I use a GTS250 and can vouch for it for high end FPS Gaming.

Huge beast but no problems.
