tabath Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 Just wanting to pick the brains of any1 in the UK who has recently purchased a desktop. Looking to spend about £300 to £400 for a desktop with monitor for kids playroom. They're 10 and 7. It needs to have a nic as I plan on connecting it up to the home network . I ileaning towards a dell at the moment but as I haven't purchased a puter for at least 3 years wanted to see what u guys came up with. Cheers! Oh and happy new year! Quote
VaKo Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 Dell Optiplex's are nice, especially the Small Form Factor and Ultra-SFF cases. Dirt cheap if you get a factory 2nd from their ebay shop or a 3rd party like EuroPC, comes with a warranty so your safe in case of juice spills and they're small enough to lock away from curious fingers.

webjockey Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 It unlikely that you are going to go for this, but, an EEEBox? or a Dell Studio Hybrid/Slim? They are both cheap and have a small form factor, they aren't high spec though, because of those other two features. Quote
metatron Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 Pick up a small form factor IBM ThinkCentre with Windows XP Pro pre installed of Ebay and a display from Dell and any cheap keyboard you like. Quote
