yes, good all round machine for the price

This isn't too good. I have seen tiny doing better deals than this.

"Graphic Card with 128MB & GeForce 6645" - They are going to have 512mb ones coming out soon.
"1024 MB DDR 400 RAM (2 x 512 MB Dual Memory)" - Should have been one 1gb module
"Seagate Hard Drive 300GB Serial" - Some pc's come with up to 500gb now

but tiny pc's are rubbish!

Well, we all know what happened to Tiny don't we?

all i'm saying is that for a 64BIT 3.5GHZ machine, this is good value

""Graphic Card with 128MB & GeForce 6645" - They are going to have 512mb ones coming out soon" - that's soon, not now - and to a lot of people, graphics ain't the be all and end all of a good machine - there's certainly nothing wrong with the graphics spec.

"1024 MB DDR 400 RAM (2 x 512 MB Dual Memory)- Should have been one 1gb module" - what difference does it make? it's still 1gb of fine memory

"Seagate Hard Drive 300GB Serial" - Some pc's come with up to 500gb now - well, this one doesn't, and you'll pay for 500gb, and as far as i know (i'm prob wrong), the only manufacturer of a 500gb hdd is Hitachi - who the hell wants Hitachi?? - most people will never use more than 60gb anyway so the whole arguement is a waste of time. This one comes with a Seagate - now that's quality.

AND A 3 YEAR WARRANTY INCLUDED!

2 512mb sims is better than a single 1gb as it can be utilised in a dual channel configuration as this one will be. 512mb card is unneccessary, and so what if they're "coming out soon" - still a good card.

You're right Liquid it is a VERY good pc. I don't know why people make comments that are clearly intended to pull the carpet of excitement from underneath you, jealous I guess.
Thanks for finding this :-)

That's what i meant to say!

for the price, i think this is a real winner, and don't forget this is in store, not an online price. I'd be chuffed to bits if my missus would give me one - the pc......

i know what you mean, there's always someone with a "coming soon". We're not interested in the soon, it's the here and now that counts. If i wanted one soon, i'd wait til later! :j

I've modified the title of your post to make it a bit clearer to forum browsers just what sort of a "monster" you meant

markj113

512mb graphics cards are available now, if you have the £605 for a 6800 ultra 512mb card. If your really flush why not get 2 and run them in SLI!!!
