PC - Just base unit

Kingsd316

Hi all, Happy New Year.

I hope this is in the right place, im after a PC base unit, with reasonable specs, i don’t need the monitor, Keyboard or mouse, any ideas, im reluctant to use eBay as i would like a warranty.

Sorry if it’s in the wrong place

Thanks

They sell a lot of refurbished (mostly Dell with 1 year warranty) base units and often have a good choice of systems with prices starting from about £125 + VAT (note all prices on the website are ex VAT). Some models come without Windows which is usually a fairly significant part of the PC price.

I am on their mailing list and they reguarly send out offers, and sometimes have special offers like "£50 off any base unit" which makes these units even better value.

Tis the season to be upgrading eh?

I went to the Dell's online Outlet Store and got the following reconditioned unit for the equivalent of £150 inc VAT and delivery earlier today (I used the Irish Outlet Store and paid in Euro) - comes with a return-to-base warranty... but you do have to sit around and wait for the good deals...
