"Your opinions, sirs! :)"

I wanted to upgrade my second computer to XP. However, it's so old I thought I may aswell get another 400MHZ for an extra £30. Ie. buy a second hand computer with slightly higher specs. (iTunes and Champ Manager)

(Excuse typing- broken laptop!)

Just looking around, I've found the following deals and would like a yay or nay for them:

Limited details in some cases, but I could find out more if needed.

Doesn't really matter now actually.

I'm thinking about getting a shiny new one from DELL and paying for it on a monthly basis.

Actually, i didnt see the P3 900mhz,
£30 off, but what speed is the CD-RW and will you get it cheaper.

The AMD 900 i think is the best deal.

I doubt it.

These don't sound like custom builds and quite often package PCs come with the main software (OS, Office app) pre-installed.

I expect it wouldn't really affect the price in this instance.

For each of those computers the bundled software is worth a lot more than the asking price of the whole machine. What does this tell us? The software is pirated.

The 900MHz Pentium III looks like a good deal.

Don't know how to put it together.
:(

I have thoroughly researched this option though.

The last one.

Forget the deals and just build your own.

Most parts can be purchased cheap off eBay.
