Lidl PC AMD Athlon 3400+ etc - is it a good deal ?

tufty_3

Very sorry if I have posted this in the wrong place but I'm sure it will be moved if I have.
I notice Lidl are selling a PC from next Thurs (regional) and it looks like it has a good spec.
I'm after a PC with 1GB RAM and a large HD as I do a lot of digital photography and use Photoshop. It also has an AMD Athlon 64 processor (which I think is one of the best at the moment)
Unfortunately I'm not sure how to post the link, could some kind person reply with the link attached to allow other members to view the page quickly.
I would be grateful for any comments regarding this machine.

Many thanks.

Redfox.....

These are short lived deals, as they are usually sold out on the day
