Recommend a 2nd hand Ebay Intel Core deal?

ClarkeKent

Looking for a very cheap PC desktop solution on Ebay and not sure which of the many options this seller has is the best to choose. Can anyone help decipher the best dual/triple Intel core deal from the stock they have. Hope to get one at auction around the £40 mark

You need a monitor etc too or just base unit?

Go for C2D E8400. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Windows-7-Dell-Core-2-Duo-2x3-00GHz-Desktop-PC-Computer-8GB-RAM-500GB-Wi-Fi-/262505039184

Just the base unit, I have a AMD E2-1800 dual core processor in my Laptop which seems to get a higher ranking score than these processors on CPU-Boss but the benchmark scores for the Ebay listings are higher?

I've always found cpubenchmark to be more realistic, it's based on real machine's performance
