Nope.

I run Vista Ultimate on a 3GHz P4 with no problems. It runs very well.

Perhaps. However, the PC is pretty low spec and I can't see it fetching more than £130 or so. That's would make the monitor only slightly cheaper than an off-the-shelf unit.

Hi, that sounds like a good deal, is that price including delivery as when I clicked on the link it said £504?

I have rung them up this morning and the price quoted on the screen was £305.00 as I upgraded processor and fire wire card and they offered me it with a discount to £275.00 including delivery, so thought I'd point out that it is worth ringing them as the man told me he would beat the price quoted online.

Looks to me like these machines were originally manufactured primarily for business use - would you agree?

You need to take off the warranty and drop it to 1 year, then go through and add the pc to your basket to see the final price, its £351 delivered

The Vostro's are on the business site, but they are identical to the Dimentions, they are just black instead of sliver, they do have a better warranty as its next day service.

Yeah, I don't really get the way the OPs selling this.

Sure, it's a pretty cheap pc/lcd combo - but when you only pay 100-110 for a decent 19" monitor these days, it's hardly "buy monitor, get PC free"...and it ain't a great PC
