MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
My Dad's vintage PC (Windows 2000, Athlon 2200) needs upgrading and as the family IT expert I've been nominated to spec a replacement. So, what cheapish barebones gear should I be looking for? How does something like [url= http://www.ebuyer.com/344622-zoostorm-pentium-no-os-desktop-pc-7873-1057 ]this[/url] stack up for value?
Get a Dell, and pay for an extended warranty.
the zoostorm will do him great but dont forget it needs an OS. Or something like this that already has win 7

I bought that Ebuyer one...good value if you already have a copy of Windows. It is pretty (to very) loud when it's turned on - so much so that I'll be looking to change the power supply in an attempt to hush it a little.
A cheap Dell. Built umpteen PCs over the years it's just not worth the aggro. Go to DMX Dimension, find a good offer, and the built PC will cost less than the parts would.
Again, a cheap Dell. When it's my machine, I build it from scratch. For non tech family and friends, a Dell with three year onsite support. Sorted.
