Hi,

After getting great advice on here before i'm back for more!
My son is looking for a computer tower to use through his lcd tv. He wants one that can stream films/download music etc. Typical sort of stuff a 17yr old does. He has seen one on ebay - Argos outlet - for £250. An Acer m3400. It comes with 500gb harddrive, windows 7, 2.7 gb processing speed, 3gb ram and amd athlon 11x3.
Can anyone give an opinion on this. Is it any good? Can he get better for his money/pay a little more for a better one more suited to him?
Any advice appreciated as i know nowt!
The connection in his bedroom isn't that great so need to bear this in mind.

Thanks a million x

    It's ok value, though have seen complaints about the way the wiring has been situated; making it difficult to install upgrades.

    He can always try it to see if it suits. If it doesn't, he can return within seven days for a full refund.
