Ahmotorsport Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Evening. It's me, i get paid for my work from now on, so i'll be on the hunt for a PC when i can spare the money to fund one. I've been looking about, i want Windows 7, just to modernize a bit, i want something that can cope with some light gaming, video editing and the internet, that's pretty well all i do with them. Now, i've come across lots of these things on eBay: Clicky Are they too good to be true? i think they are, bare in mind, the last thing i want to be doing is replacing parts in a years time because they turn out to be cheap China shite, but i don't feel as if i don't need to be going over board on my spending because, i just don't need a super computer. As far as i know AMD are quite good? Also Sata? Anyway, opinions please. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you up to building one? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/LP/systems2.php would be suggestion?I know it's not included but it says for £80 more you can have '7. Never really thought about it, i've never done it before. I'll have a look, cheers. Oh and well as i say, i don't want to be going mad with spending, bare in mind i have my vehicle to take my money along with going to Canada in September.

Stu Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Most stuff is manufactured in China now. I think i'd prefer to buy a 1 yr old state of the art machine than a bottom of the barrel brand new machine today. It'd most likely be faster and more reliable. Perhaps have a look in the Dell outlet or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidrick Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 ThinkCentre M58p (3285-A62)Intel Core 2 Duo Processor E8400, 2GB, 2x160GB 7200RPM S-ATA HDD, PCI/PCIe Tower (4x5), Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500, DVD Recordable, Intel Gigabit Ethernet I could probably provide an unused machine with the above spec, Windows 7 and Office 2007 for £200. That'd leave you a few quid if you wanted to upgrade the graphics or add more RAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps have a look in the Dell outlet or something.It's a fair point, trouble is i don't know what bottom of the barrel spec is ThinkCentre M58p (3285-A62)Intel Core 2 Duo Processor E8400, 2GB, 2x160GB 7200RPM S-ATA HDD, PCI/PCIe Tower (4x5), Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500, DVD Recordable, Intel Gigabit Ethernet I could probably provide an unused machine with the above spec, Windows 7 and Office 2007 for £200. That'd leave you a few quid if you wanted to upgrade the graphics or add more RAM.Would that fill my needs? Sounds like a pretty good deal to me! Is there a limit to what graphics card that can take? My brother put one in my mums old computer and it blew it up within about two months (well, i put it down to that anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidrick Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 With a 50 quid graphics card and £20 on another 2gb of RAM, I'd say that would fill most folks needs. Certainly yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
