LOL Calibrax

I think the poll questions are a bit unfair. Obviously if I was offered one for free I would accept it, but if people are wanting a PC with a monitor they can probably find better value-for-money with Dell special offers

@calibrax - true.

Graphic Card with 128MB & GeForce 6645" - They are going to have 512mb ones coming out soon.

I've got to say. This is very flawed logic. I've not long ago installed an Nvidia Geforce 6800ultra 256MB card (£375) in the boys machine. If I applied the above statement to this card it would look like a wasted purchase. Even though there isn't one single game out there that can stretch this card yet.

For the money, this computer is well worth it.

[H]ardOCP have recently reviewed an ATI X800XL 512Mb card and they said in conclusion.

When it’s all said and done, the 512MB Radeon X800 XL video card is not a good value. For $200 less you can pick up a Radeon X800 XL 256MB video card that pulls in some impressive performance compared to a GeForce 6800 GT. The only benefit in our testing was Half-Life 2 and it just isn’t worth paying $200 more for one game to raise the AA setting by one quality setting.

Who knows what the future has in store. In the future, 512MB video cards will show a performance advantage. But today is not that day.

In fact I wouldn't buy a PC for a while now, because when PS3 comes out DVD writers will become obselete as they will release blu-ray writers. And as blu ray discs can hold like 50gb, manufacturers are likely to release larger hard drives. Just thinking about the problems that may occur in the long run.

That's my opinion, I ain't got anything against the computer, I'm just thinking about how long the PC will last before you have to buy another one.

ROFLMAO

But hang on, what about perpendicular drives, they'll be out soon? LOL
If you need a PC now this is very very good. Otherwise hang on for about 8 years and they'll be much better ;-) LOL

Got one, was sold out in the first store I went to, nabbed one in the second - very quiet, almost completely silent. Great! Not much else to say really, good build quality.

Can somebody who bought one of these give a quick review, has it been a good buy ?

Im asking as i might be getting one brand new next week at a very good price
