    I had a look and to be honest, it's not got a lot of choice for I.T really. :(
    Money saving:
    Buy a Skoda. Laugh at the VWs who paid several grand more
    Its a diesel. 50mpg - laugh at all the petrols
    Its a tuned 260bhp diesel - laugh at them in the rearview mirror as they vanish

    Yes I have bought 2 cameras, one PC, set of speakers, 19" monitor, DAB Radio.

    The most annoying thing from my point of view is you can't see what a previos identical item sold for...good marketing ploy though!!

    Not sure if it still works but quite a few guys bought there and sold on EBay ...I tried it once and got burned...

    But overall good value if you are patient and know your market. You can also check out their website which has good bargains too.

    Can't say that is very good to be honest - i've just ordered a Dell Dimension 3000 with Pentium 4 2.8Ghz processor, 512MB Ram, 80Gb Harddrive, 17" monitor, keyboard mouse etc Windows XP Home, and free colour printer inc free delivery for £351.00

    With all the usual Dell guarantees etc

    Not sure but I think the Toshiba was a laptop / notebook thing. But still not special value. my Dell 2.8 Pentium4 was only £486 new, with a optical mouse, wireless built in, and a free all in one printer (currently on ebay LOL)
