PHILIPS MT1900

I've been offered this computer for £349 (without a monitor) - new and from a well known store.

It seems ok 2 me but my knowledge of computers is limited.

Is it worth the money please or are there better deals?

I've tried to do a link to the computer below. Sorry if it doesn't work.

Sorry to bump but they only have 1 left in stock and I will probably buy it today if anyone of you can recommend it.

Thanks

It's got a good processor, an average graphics card (certainly not great for games), it's got plenty of memory but it's doesn't say what speed it is.

It looks OK but for playing modern games you would probably want to swap out the graphics card.

One other point, do not buy Norton internet security with it, use the free options instead.

I had the 1300 model a couple of years ago, it was a pretty quick PC for home use, but, it ran quite hot, and the video card died after about 6 months.
