    Wouldn't bother really, but it might suit someone. Can't imagine how Windows 7 will run on that thing.

    this was mentioned on here a while back.......not bad if you qualify for £95, with an extra £10 for another gig of RAM - the illustration seems to show an IBM base unit - if this is what they're shipping, can I have one for £95 ??? pleeze :D

    in fact, I was wondering what would be the best way to get W7 as a reference machine, this may be a good idea, esp.as mrs G-J qualifies for £95 :D

    cheers s-t-o, but had already bookmarked the page :) I'm starting to get more W7 call-outs hence the need for a reference machine, so a full system at that price, even if I sell the peripherals on ebay will give me 7 for next to nowt ;)

    Didn't mean for you. ;) Perhaps someone else might be interested and we know some people aren't good with Google.

    As you say £95, Windows 7 plus another Gig of RAM could make it a reasonable purchase.
