    550 Euro with a 19inch widescreen monitor aswell,

    The guy who was trying to sell it to me said Dell have the exact same spec PC for over 100 dearer.

    Looks like it could be a good deal.

    They generally just re-badge other computers. For example the advent 4211 is just an msi wind (which is a fantastic netbook) with an advent sticker on it and if I remember correctly was/is actually cheaper than the wind by a good bit.
