Buying a new PC Help please :)

Bargainbabe_2

Hi,

I am looking for a new PC without a monitor. My budget is around £200-£250. Does anyone know the best place to get the hightest spec PC for my money please? I have no definite requirements but I do want Windows Vista. I'm not into gaming or anything that's heavy on resources.

Thanks in advance

Dabs have one here for only £189.98. The spec isn't too bad, and it has Vista Home (probably basic, for that price).

Anyone else?

Standard advice is to check out the Dell deals on https://www.dmxdimension.com

not into anything that's heavy on resources but want vista - bit of a contradiction

For £250? I might be tempted to use the FreeAds paper. That way you might get a PC that can run Vista quite well. What's the fascination with Vista anyway Bargainbabe? I'm looking at PCs costing a bit more that your budget (well two grand plus) but given the choice even at that price I wouldn't touch Vista. Unfortunately it doesn't look like I have an option as it's needed for Dirext X10 gaming. Good luck whatever you decide to go for.

Hey look, I'm evidently no expert on computers, hence the reason i posted on for asking for some direction. I find the way you have worded your post a little harsh and most unhelpful..

If you're going to be so abrupt please save your keys or at least have the decency to explain the contents of yours post.

Everyone else who replied thank you, I will look at the links.

It's not a "fascination" I just assumed it was probably better in the long term to go for the most up to date windows version.

Do you need monitor/speakers/dedicated graphics card for that budget? Dell's cheapest systems are just over your budget (£269) - no monitor included.
