    Update http://www.bargaincrazy.com/packard-bell-imedia-s-intel-celeron-desktop-in-black

    Keep watching it you guys :D

    Good price as it is (you get a nice 20" monitor worth £80-90 included) but as soon as a £20 or £50 money off coupon appears, it's unbeatable value.

    Brand new - some old frat just can't handle Windows 8 - sent back in numpty mode lol

    I just don't like the processor. It is ancient and 555th in the all time list. It's very poor. If the board will take an update, it may be worth it. But at that price I'd suggest the components will all be fairly substandard.
    I am firmly across the line. I won't impose my values on you if you keep away from mine.

    Don't know about the condiments but I'm led to believe that a Wigan Kebab is a large meat pie eaten in a sandwich of big bread buns.

    Don't think I would fancy that, you don't need pie with meat if you have buns. :eek:

    Is it worth looking on ebay for them?

    Didn't think of that. Not worth the risk of coming across another Ebay nutter, had one of those the other week.

    Sent the item earlier than expected, she-witch complains I sent it late, I completed the famed VIFF manoeuvre (vector in forward motion for those too young to remember the Falklands war) and neatly posted a comment that her comment about late delivery had been posted 3 days before delivery was due according to my listing! :D

    She-witch does not reply, probably just fired in anger at seeing she paid more than somewhere else but what the hell, I am the VIFF guy! :rotfl:

    Any Ebay users know how much I would pay in fees and paypal fees if an item sold for £1 with £1 postage on? TIA

    Google 'Ecal', I use it all the time to work out fees.

    I note the comment - fair point - but having used it I would say that it is faster than most people's computers bought (say) more than 2 years ago.

    With 6GB (I added 2GB to the spare slot) it is incredibly zippy.

    Compared to any PC I bought 2006-2010 it is much better, I bought a few as we need PCs in 2 places for 5 of us lol - I think that Win 8 plus this spec processor makes it nice & zippy, Win 8 is great.

    So far, so good...:)

    Just popping back in on return from Sains. - I don't think I have it within me to get any less than £9 Brnd Match back!

    :rotfl:Original target was £6.38 as I was mixing items cheaper at T together with S own brands, to a £20 shop, and a final chance to get S back down to T's prices! The actual shop I ended up doing - £9.47 BM back! The long dates on the I Can't Believe...s helped. Sadly the 5x Raspberry Fruit Bowl School Bars, SEL said £1.29, did not scan at 49p but at the £1.29 - but I thought the 49p was likely a mistake anyway. Instead I used some Sains. Mixed Peel (equivalent at T more expensive) to tip into the £20.

    I'm only back as the fridge stuff needed going in there first - before now off to A - and then onto T:eek: (as A shuts earlier in my area than T tonight). Womble spend and way cheaper items and some usual glitch item vs T (plus attempt to find instore items that aren't on either a.com or MSM - wish me luck (I doubt I'll hit lucky there but you never know..)), then Nouvelle 9+9 and Discos extra frees shop. I've managed to get exactly 10 'good' value items on that shopping list!

    Back soon...:)
