Sorry to post this here, but it's quite urgent.

I might be getting a Pentium 4 2.6 computer with 512 MB Ram, a Radeon 9600 TX graphics card, 120GB Hard Disk, 19' Monitor and all the rest of it for about £900.... is that any good? it's got loads of software, audio Audigy Drives and what-not, but I haven't got a clue about all this.

Thanks!

Anyway, pick that one up from Aldi tommorow with an LCD screen for £160. Can't go wrong there.

£960 with LCD screen that means.

My Dad wrote the specs out... I don't know where it's from... but that looks like the one.

I'm lost.

Medion are actually getting quite big now, I've seen quite a few of their PCs in Staples and PC World stores. All over the place.

But it's only a grand or so with a surround sound system, a big monitor and quite a bit of kick... I'll get my old man to buy it, and like I said, i'll just take it on the chin if it's no good.

Never heard of Medion. Closest SR get to it is the Maxx 4D P4 XP 2800 at £1199.99 including VAT. (Only a 17" monitor though).

So...sounds like a bargain.
