    A complete waste of effort (and tax payers money). As others have said you can get far better on ebay.

    And besides many benefits claimants will already have a much higher spec machine to play games on while they wait for the next cheque to come through.

    Interesting to see this rating highl on the Wow factor. Its been around a while, when it came out we were going to put it in the weekly email, but after numbercrunching it just didnt stack up. You can get better PCs cheaper and broadband cheaper - so we just included it in the broabband guide in not too prominent a place http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/phones/cheap-broadband#package

    I would be interested if anyone tries it and finds it worthwhile.
