Reserve price aint met though and a 32"lcd tv has got to be at least £600 even a lesser brand name. This package could go for easily 1k.

Wonder how easy it would be to upgrade the graphics card? As ideally this would be used for games etc!

Yeahc expecting it would go near 1k but still for everything still seems a good price for HDTV and multi media etc. Plus has warrenty etc.

Does it really matter if it comes with a keyboard or not? there really cheap and you could more than likely use the one your using now on it

I think that if you're considering buying that off e-bay you should leave the internet well alone.

rhys, i have a digital TV card in mine, it'll pick up ALL freeview channels (cept the ones you need to pay for) and its a normal windows program you use to watch it, so you can put it ina windows and keep working beside a little mini pic of the TV

Theres a pukka AGP card available still. Think its the 6800 extreme, 512mb ram and 16 pipelines make it almost as good as a PCI-E card
