looks like a nice machine to check email on, no good for us gamers though. i noticed a few of you on about changing the mobo, cos it comes with vista i thought i would bring this artical to your attention....

Thought this may be a useful read if you are thinking of using it for gaming. From what they say here should be rather useful and worthy of buying. This forum is a recent posting too, within last couple of weeks.

They look out of stock again?

I noticed when I ordered mine that it no longer appeared in a search either.

All gone now....

Have any of you still got your order - mine was cancelled over the weekend due to a declined payment (although the bank have no record of them trying to take the payment).. and now it's out of stock - apparently they don't allocate stock until the payment is taken - which is a very stupid way of doing things.. So they can't accept a different payment method to re-order. grr.

So I've lost out. Bit p*ssed off with them really.

I got a third confirmation/dispatch email this morning. I think you've been had by the PC World, like I have before. It may be worth phoning up and complaining - you might get somewhere.

I've already phoned and complained - they just said "oh I'm sorry - company policy" and they ignored me. gah.
