High Powered Quad-Core PC £449 IN STOCK

Great bargain from Toysrus. Wasn't gonna tell you folks about this until I got my order in ;) 'cos we know what you're like !!

Anyhoo, Quad-core PC for £449 INCLUDING delivery, now in stock (finally). Amazing power: 4, yes 4 powerful (2.4GHz) CPUs !!!!, with 2GB of Memory (this is the minimum I recommend for Vista Premium which is has). No monitor, but for this price you shouldn't expect one !!

Only thing it doesn't have is a dedicated graphics card, but the rest of the spec is great (which is only required for heavy duty games), and worst case you could install a new graphics card for 30-40 quid)
