PC for daughter, please.

Hi everyone,
I am looking to buy a used PC for my daughter who is 5 and hoping for her to use it for a couple of years.
I found two on ebay and will like people's views and recommendations.

Thanks

First one seems OK for a 5yo for a couple of years, however, I have a few snigs. The "ebay spec" bit says 80GB, the product description has 40GB. Which is it? Who knoooows.

same personally cant see an issue with the first system, i would personally say expect a 40GB hard drive but for a 5 year old the most i expect they will want to use it for is things like the cbeebies website

and if the second link is the DELL GX280 i would personally stay away from them mainly for the way they are trying to big up the system - it also doesnt include the operating system or monitor etc so that will add to your costs
