Integrated Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 3000

Also available with XP-Pro for same price

It shows as £210 until you add to basket then the price drops by £6

If you go via Quidco there's 4.5% cashback as well making it £195.25 delivered.

It's by no means perfect and not meant to be posted as such, but there's a lot of hardware available for the money.

The code is: D03E02 at Dell home (or D03E02XP for XP-Pro)


The hard drive upgrade for £11.75 is worth it.
Don't bother with the memory upgrade (which it will need if running Vista), get that later from Crucial or somewhere else for less than half the price.
Same with a monitor if you need one, go through pixmania or the like for a better monitor for far less.

My Quidco has now tracked so with the £11.75 upgrade I got it for £206.47.

You can't even buy the major components for this - did a quick spec up on ebuyer using the cheapest comparable components and got this:

Microsoft OEM Windows Vista Business x32Bit (DVD) - 1PK £75.83
NEC AD-7170S-0B 18x DVD�RW/DL/RAM Serial ATA Black - OEM £18.15
Maxtor STM3160211AS 160GB SATAII 7200RPM 2MB Cache - OEM £28.83
Intel Pentium D 915 (2.80GHz) Socket 775 FSB800 2x2MB Retail Boxed Processor £48.59
Kingston Valueram 512mb 400mhz/PC2-3200 DDR2 CL3 240 pin 1.8V £18.29
Cart Total: £189.69

Add VAT and you get: £222.89

Add in the motherboard, case, power supply, keyboard and mouse and it's a damn good deal.
I know it's not cutting edge - I don't play games, so that doesn't matter to me. It'll be good for at least 2 years and that's enough.
All I'm going to do is stick another gig of RAM in and it will 100 times better than this I'm using now which cost £800 4 1/2 years ago and is now a dog.

Hi, do you have a link to this? Looking for a decent PC for father in law. He actually doesn't even want Vista if that helps.
Many thanks
