No monitor ?

That is one very nice Bargain!!
I seem to remember that Aldi is very similar to Lidl (also German) and is the biggest pc reseller in Germany because they offer good specs and no one can beat them in price, maybe Lidl is trying the same trick.

Nitrox,

Aldi sell Medion* german made computer systems as specials, unbeatable specs and Medion is a very good company for back up, repairs or replacement during warranties.

I purchased my Medion over two years ago, and had to go online to Medion UK for technical help with my DVD-CD Rom drawer sticking, not their fault but mine.

However, within 48hours I had a call from their contract service engineers in Ireland, and they were at my home about an hour later and replaced the complete DVD-CD ROM completely Free of charge. Thats German manufacturers business efficiency for you.

I now understand that Aldi will shortly be offering a Medion Laptop shortly and I will be in the queue.

Say no more.

What about GFX Card? Provide your own?

That asus board has an onboard geforce2mx (32mb shared).

AFAIK that's a NForce1 mobo. Had the MSI one in my previous PC. Bit outdated now but excellent value PC for that money

Sorry to bring bad news on this offer.

But it seems to only apply for a new store opening in Waterford City this week.

jongore

New Ross has back to school specials, maybe it is just Waterford

Quigs Snr

I live 100 yards from the one opening in Waterford and got a 4 page brochure with the specials and it is for sale here, doesn't say only Waterford though.

PC is not that good a deal. Buying a mouse and Keyboard for 10 Euro each, plus a case and PSU from PC Superstore for 60 Euro (they're not bad have 2 machines based on them), then buying identical parts from Komplett, I can put the same machine together for about 460 Euro (inc Delivery). So nothing worth writing home about. Sure I have to build it myself, shock horror, 2 hours of my life wasted.

damnyanks

Probably get software with that machine though.

jongore

Are there any other offers in the Waterford store this week? Is there anyehere to find theri brochure online?
BTW I think the PC is good value, esp to someone new to PCs

Quigs Snr

No OS mentioned on the AD.

The only other item of interest is a rather neat looking Typhoon USB Pen Drive, 128MB, 29.99

That sounds interesting. Any idea if that's just a Waterford special or available everywhere?

jongore

It looks like it's Waterford only to coincide with the opening of the new store

AdMMM

I for one will be buying this...

How many do you suspect they will be getting in??

And btw,

ONLY AVAILABLE TO WATERFORD CITY, ONE PER CUSTOMER ONLY

Boo. Down with this sort of thing.

Queue early. I wouldn't turn up after 7:30 if you're after a PC. Pointless getting out of bed at all if you're not reasonably sure of getting one. Make it 7 then. Staff turn up at 7 for stocking things but if they're running a ticket system they probably won't hand them out till 8.

jongore

There where 37 PCs, they had finished handing out tickets for them about 8:50.

I got my self 2 Typhoon USB Pen Drive, 128MB, 29.99. Me is happy now . Yeah computer deal looked good but did not need it!!

marketman

i purchased a targa lcd screen 2 yrs ago, with 3 years warranty from lidl, cost me 499.99 euro,I used it for 2hrs per week since, it packed up 4-5 weeks ago, still awaiting replacement, and no satisfaction from lidl :mad: niether, they are one of the worst most arrogant companies anyone could wish to deal with, i would not recommend them to anyone one. wayne M...

God no....
here's a slightly better spec pc AND it's cheaper AND including Windows XP Professional (Which cost me about €140 separate)
If you want to install your own Operating system, then deduct €140 from the price)

(Probably works out the same price when you include delivery )

But, you can customise the PC online, and add lots more....

blastman

You realise that Lidl spec is for a PC from two years ago, don't you?
