Default Cheap Dell PC

Dell do a dimension 2400 pc for about £370, but you can get for only £261 if you do the following

Specs:
2.6 Ghz Celeron
256mb DDR RAM
40GB hdd
DVD/CDRW drive
Windows XP Home
Speakers etc.

Go to www.dell.co.uk and click on 'Home & Home Office'. Enter the E-Value code 305 - D1025 in the boxes at the bottom of the page (this takes you straight to the appropriate package).

Change Support Services to 1 yr Collect and Return. Click 'Update price' then click 'continue', then 'continue' (again), then 'Add to basket'.

Enter code 2CH8N$N0BGN5V9 for a further £40 off giving the total of £261.91 including VAT and shipping.

hope this helps

What money/hassle am I talking to upgrade that to a P4 (and keep the 2.6GHz) and double the RAM?

40gb HDD I can live with (got a 9gb now lol) and the rest is cool, but all this talk of P4 and 512 RAM makes me want it

Done a bit of exploration and found you can get the Dimension 3000 (instead of D1025 replace D1035) for £306

similar spec, still not P4, but bigger HDD and 512 RAM

How about buying the system without monitor and then going for one of these......

http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/produ...duct_uid=76435

At least then you get 3 years decent warranty on the monitor and you can go for 1 year on the PC.
