PC for about £100

spaceboy

Not looking for a new one obviously but what makes and models should I look out for? Will probably get one on eBay. I'd like an i3 processor. Just want something reliable, quiet, not too bulky.

yup , if you find a good i3 model let me know if there are 2 there for £100 each

i3 have been around for a good few years now.

You wont get much for £100 not new...

Cheapest i3 £90 ? Leaving £10 for a MB, case, memory and a hard drive etc etc?

pappa_golf

he,s expecting a complete up and running system (with os?) that must be " reliable, quiet, not too bulky. " for £100!!!




must be his location , actually I would expect the carriage to be about £20 to there




OP , please keep me informed

Nah the CPU will come in at £100 delivered, not sure what they plan to plug it into though? No money left for anything else.

OP , IF you are serious about the £100 thing , can you put new/second hand bits in your old box (desktop dell type machines wont do)

That would be a brand new cpu. I'm not looking for a new computer.

you will not find an ex user PC with your spec from a dealer (who can guarantee it) for that price , set your figure closer to £200 + , suggested site (used before) http://www.morgancomputers.co.uk/c/407/Desktop-Tower-PCs-Systems/


note most are running windows xp , if you find one with 7/8 you can upgrade to 10 , most have very low memory , and older (obsolete memory) is expensive now , and most have small hard drives , they were used in offices and linked to central file storage


in fact

£107 + vat plus delivery , with win 7 installed

Are you looking for just a Base Unit (CPU/MB/HD/Memory etc) or are you looking for a whole PC (Base Unit + Monitor + Keyboard + Mouse)?

now we are rubbing in the fact that the OP is from scootland , aren't we
