Firstly, let me apologise if this is posted in the wrong area, wasn't quite sure where to post it.

My PC has died on me so need to purchase a new one, and wondered if anyone knew of any good deals on at the moment.

Thanks for any help, much appreciated x

Best to place in Techie guide.

What price range do you have in mind, what will the PC will be used for (by everyone who will be using it)

Depending on spec can change your budget greatly. My Dad's neighbour has been after a basic PC to replace a dead laptop and despite looking for the last 9 months nothing came along I'd call cheap until I looked at Aria Super Specials. Neighbour ended up with a Dell PC for £140 inc monitor & keyboard & shipping.

The best bargain at the moment is this Zoostorm PC from Ebuyer which costs £190 including delivery.

It has a 1TB hard disk drive and 4GBs of RAM. The big drawback is that there is no operating system installed.

You could get Linux which is free but it can be rather daunting if you've not used it before. If you're used to Windows XP, this Ebay seller with good feedback has an XP Professional disc including Service Pack 3 for £38 including delivery.

However if you'd prefer your computer to be right up to date, Ebuyer are selling the Windows 7 operating system disc for £71 including delivery.

So put the two together and you'd spend a maximum of £261.

The Ebuyer deal looks to be a good one and i've purchased from them happily before.

I would steer well away from Aria based on a growing number of customers poor experiences (including my own) with thier customer services and after sales.

Aria maybe ok when your buying one of components but with something like a complete computer you'd want good after sales and customer support which from many forums including thier own Aria's is shown to be very poor.
