Options
I posted this in another thread but think it probably needs it's own thread as I think it's a bit of a billy bargain! The monitor on its own cost £293 delivered (Ok, that's with a 3 year warranty, but hey ho). With thanks to MikeT at HUKD. Here's the spec:

e-value code: D08V02

Intel Pentium Dual-Core E2140 Processor (1.6GHz,800MHz,1MB cache)
Genuine Windows Vista Business (or XP Professional)- English
1024MB 667MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM [2x512]
250GB (7200rpm) Serial ATA Hard Drive with 8MB DataBurst cache
Integrated Intel Graphic Media Accelerator X3100
22" Widescreen Monitor E228WFP
Dell Entry Quietkey USB Keyboard - UK/Irish (QWERTY)
Dell 2 Button USB Scroll Optical Mouse - Black
Integrated 7.1 Channel High Definition Audio
Microsoft Works 8.0 - English
16x DVD +/- RW Drive
1 Year Warranty

If you just want the base unit you can actually get the price down to £188 delivered!

PS Don't forget Quidco!

    I believe you can, no problem. But please be aware that you aren't covered by the Distance Selling Regs, as far as I know. Don't forget to downgrade the warranty from 3 years to 1 year to get it at this price. And go through Quidco for cashback!

    Thanks, one more question! Do you know what Vista business is like? I have XP at the mo and I like it, so I don't know whether to change or not

    Personally, I would go with the XP Pro at the moment as that's what I'm used to, but I'm no PC expert. Anyone?
  • Hello,

    might be being stupid here, but...

    1. How on earth do you find this PC amongst all the others, could someone paste a link pretty please, and

    2. How do you get it down to £188? I went to the website, pasted in the evalue code as above into the search facility and it appeard to bring back the corretc base unit as per the description above, the exact same spec, but even after I had stripped it down to the bare minimum it was £369.

    What am i doing wrong here?

    Any help much appreciated
    cheers

    That's the system I'm talking about. BUT go through Quidco first! Downgrade the warrranty to 1 year collect and return, click on No Monitor and the price should reduce to £188.07 delivered.
