Very very cheap desktop needed

Donnie

This one might go for around £30 to £35 including postage.

Seems that you've missed that one too.

Too expensive for what it offers, especially with Pentium 3. They already have a monitor.

Example: £100 would get you this:

Without the monitor, it would be around £30 less.

Looking around my reveal better deals.

Is this the infamous Optiplex GX270?

Don't worry, I wasn't actually recommending that particular system. Which is why I didn't create a link to an actual sale.

It's just indicative of what is possible to get on eBay within budget.

Tantalizing deals Donnie, but where are the links? (and I assume these Dells are not auctions)

Links are in post #23. Buy Now prices. Some with 30 day warranty.

That one was available for 99.99 delivered, but I didn't post the link as a monitor was not requested and I wasn't necessarily recommending that particular unit. Just an illustration of what was available.

If OPs old monitor (it was mentioned as not being good) is a small or crt type, now might be the time to get a replacement 17" sized one in the bundle - it's for her mother and a larger monitor makes for better usability. The amount of space you save with a flat one is also great. And it looks like there are plenty of sub £150 bundles with a 17" mon.

Oh, and those Ebay listings - £25 P&P looks typical.

But there are also many with free or £9.99 delivery.
Examples: Free
£9.99 Free There are many more.

These are not recommendations, just illustrations.

As to the auctions, you can factor the postage into your bid.


Whassamatter with you?

Nothing wrong with Tier1, as they give a decent warranty etc, but the system to which you linked is simply not good value. Take it easy young man.
