personally I wouldnt touch that with a 4 foot barge poll if that was me.

never buy a pre configured box mate as you never know how long that server will last and secondly what kinda problems you will receive.. I.e freezing and so on.

Secondly its cheaper to buy the box on its own and find a server. far cheaper and more reliable in many ways.

290 quid for a Dm800 with all sly channels... thats a DEFO NO NO

Unless you know the man very well and he will come to the rescue when the issues arrive then I guess you can buy it but even then I wouldnt buy it because I know i can do it all meself and it will work out far cheaper.

It depends on how long the server access is for. If it's 12 Months, works well and you get support, then it's a good deal compared with other deals I've seen online

I actually managed to pick up an openbox hd for a couple hundred squid, turns out my dads mate had a server running
