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!

Don't risk that offer!

If you're paying that money buy something good!

DELL? Sack that for a game of Cricket... they're extortionate! (How do you spell the word I was trying to spell?!)

I'm on a DELL now... it's alright, but You'd pay about £1.7K for the same machine with that spec... this has quite a bit of software... mainly MS stuff. (Auto-Route 02, Money '03, Word '02) But it seems quite good... If it's whack, i'll just stick with it... I wasn't sure about the graphicscard... but as long as it can spit out Raven Sheild and Delta Force: BHD, I don't care.

It's a Medion... Didn't SR sell them?!

I had a Dell, I agree top quality, good customer service too. My last order they forgot to send some of the bundled software and after ringing them they had it with me the next day, so if they make a mistake (rare they do) they fix it fast.

Drawbacks to Dell:

Long waiting times on the phone (mind you it's been over a year since I last used them).

Someone you know and someone good...

DELL

A bit pricey for what you get but you're paying for the quality, they're one of the best for desktop PCs and the best for laptop PCs...

That's the mega offer that that company are doing tomorrow, they've advertised it everywhere!

What software do you get?

Do you get a warranty?

I wouldn't trust them because they're some random named company that I've never heard of...

Go with someone you know...
