Yeah I know it ain't massive - but it is 4 times the size ofmy current PC's HDD

It was £275, and Dell list em for £466

I did want a P4 chipped 4600, but couldn't get one in my price range (only got a max of £300 to spend and most P4 4600's go for more than that and 99% of em don't have monitors) so decided for what we use it for (MSN, net surfin, burn a few CD's, not a lot in the way of downloads - least not "heavy") then a Celeron would do... Probably a damn sight better than what's in this crappy machine I got now.....
