What was the link for, a computer?

Didn't work properly for me, but the 'Family Computer' they seem to have:

# AMD Athlon 64 3500+
# 320GB SATA hard drive with 7200rpm
# nVIDIA graphic machine nForce 6100 (128MB shared memory)
# RAM: 1,024MB DDRII memory
# Superfast DVD burner, writes DVD ±R/RW, dual layer +R, CD-R/RW, reads 16x DVD-Rom, 40x CD-Rom
# Corded keyboard and mouse
# 6 in 1 card reader
# Huge OEM software package with the latest Microsoft Vista™ Basic Home Edition

Seems good doesn't it, but its not...

Yeah, I'd do 3 years no problem.

The £175 was a quick quote, and I could probably get it cheaper/better.

If you seriously wanted me to build you one, I'd do it no problem

Hi
Pc is not bad if you can`t build your own.They seem to get cheaper all the time.Most pcs don`t have a softeware disc these days.You have a recovery built in which sets to default settings .Also you can back up on a disc then boot from cd.
So quite easey to mentain.

Why would you buy a pc from a grocery store?! All though to be fair after Tuesday nights Whistle Blower why would you buy anything from a grocery store

Satsids link takes me to my local lidl store where the first item on offer is a "Scottish Slimmers Starter Kit" I think that they would even regard me as a hopeless case.

Including legitimate copy of Windows? I doubt it.
