Anyone seen any offers around lately?

I want a Core 2 duo machine (pref 2.13GHz) with min 1gb Ram and 300gb HD with a graphics card that'll support dual DVI output (i.e. two monitors), for like it says - £500

Also needs to be Quiet!....The Fans in my P4 HT machine are sooooooo noisy, you cant hear the tv over them. Its like a jet engined PC in the front room!

Im only interested in the tower, no monitor or keyboard nonsense required!

You should contact SCS on Taplin Road Hillsborough, Tel 2819333, they give excellent service at a good price.

I've just put together a couple of sets of components to build a PC to your specs. and I think as a one off meeting your requirements within a £500 budget is going to be difficult.

^ but thats a dell computer LOL

If you can use ebuyer to get all the parts seperatly, like has been said its a lot cheaper and you can get exactly what you want :)

plus the EBuyer one has a better spec GFX Card, more HDD Space, is probably much quieter to...

im in the middle of speccing my self a new system up...ebuyer will definatly be used, great prices

Too much hassle building my own, anyway if i dont like it i'll send it back!

The effort the Indian lady put into selling me it was worth the money alone :hihi:

wouldnt reccomend a DELL dekstop to anyone tbh lol

and with my recent experiences of buying a mobile contract from Three, I am more than hesitant to recommend Glasgwegians and Indians as reliable sources for making capital purchases of this nature :)

Just to echo the thoughts of people above: buy the components not the dell, use the £40 you save to get someone to throw it together for you.

Don't buy a PC - Buy a MAC!
