I have just checked this on the Home User website and it appears to be fine - lets you go right through to checkout without any problems.
People may also be interested in DMUK4-D03305 which is exactly the same spec as the £183 deal of a few weeks ago, but with 512MB of memory for £251 delivered - again a good deal, and it includes speakers too.

But get the following "We need you to adjust your order.

Does this message come up AFTER you go to the checkout? I got as far as putting in my shipping details before I cancelled out and it went fine.

No, I get this message when I enter that second e-code.

Seems to have gone again!!!

Is this model suitable for photos, or did i read somewhere i need to make sure the pc has a graphics card??

Any computer can do pictures, it just takes longer....I used to edit pictures on a Dell P75 (pentium 75mhz) with only 1mb onboard graphics....it just took a long time.

Yes it will do pictures, it has an 80gb hard drive which will store a good few and the processor will be up for editing and manipulating them. the graphics will also be ok for it.

Where this system will fail is for graphic intensive games (Doom 3) and even then if (as suggested earlier in the thread) you get a PCI graphics card (no AGP slot) it will probably be ok for that as well.
