Huh
What's wrong with a Windows 98 PC then?

JPA

Anyone ever use a PC with this kind of spec? Decent enough for the basics?

Might recommend to the parents.

They have an offer with a 15" flat panel Monitor for 429 Euro including printer, free delivery and 15 month Mcafee Sub but 40GB HD and 256 Ram and no Modem again.
How much is the monitor+printer worth or would Dell knock the price of these off that system?

Stephen

The printer is pretty worthless anyway, as it will cost you a fortune in consumabels.

Scruff

thats pretty sweet for an entry level machine. what socket type is the cpu?
/edit no agp or pci slot though so not a lot of upgrading options there. still fine for bog standard web browsing\office type work.
do dell do any desk top as opposed to tower case pc's anymore?

unklerosco

Just picked one up for my dad for xmass.. perfect

okidoki987

The modem's another 20 Euro yes?

Paddy20

Wonder would this one work well with my new Dell W2600 LCD/TFT 26" TV/Monitor in the sitting room ?.....:) It would stop me having to split up my computer set- up in my bedroom

P.:cool:

the_jocky

also just picked one up.
but i would love if i got a deal on a monitor. pref 15 tft
would anyone have a code for one off dell?

Capt'n Midnight

Interesting - no point in doing a self build instead for friends/relations since this has a windows Xp home license included and they can call Dell instead of you having to provide technical support forever for free.

Sponge Bob

Last Hour of the offer.

Just got one for €167 thanks to the voucher Dell give me for ****ing up my order with the 26" TVs

Not sure how long it will last but that code will give you a 17'' lcd with the machine for €460 a good €200 less than putting it in as an option in the previous one.

The link is not working?

besty

me wants one of these.seems like a good deal.
is the optical mouse better than the recommended one?
Does anybody know if I would be able to use an existing HP monitor I have from an older PC with this CPU?

Thanks

Assuming the recommended one is a bog-standard mouse with a ball, then "yes", in most cases. Optical mice can be a bit funny on some mouse mats or some grained veneer desktops, although they're usually fine. The bonus is you don't have to clean them.

Yes you will, no problem. It mightn't be as good quality a picture (depending on what monitor it is, etc.), but it will work fine.

besty

thanks cg.the only thing now is that i think this offer might be over. ill have to try and get some money together if it isnt and get myself one of these

ah bollix

okidoki987

Knowing Dell, I'm sure there will be just as good an offer shortly.

CivilServant

This is a fantastic entry level pc/workstation. It's really quiet, and license for XP home alone is worth €91.50 http://www.komplett.ie/k/kl.asp?bn=10339 so 257 for the machine and OS is definitely worth it. Thanks 2003yaris!

unklerosco

Twas a great deal, my dad'll be chuffed... N i'll get my pc back n can start modding again!!! At least i can't mess with the dell, there's nowt to mess with. Would like to have gotten an LCD with it as he likes my 19" one. Hopefully i'll pick up a 17" one here...

gary the great

I upgraded the extra 90euro and got 1024 ram. Could of done with a new monitor though.

Great offer thanks for bringing it to my attention!

whiteshadow

Would this system be upgradable.
eg adding new drives.. graphics card as time goes on etc.

What could be upgraded and more importantly what couldn't

CivilServant

There are no agp or pcie slots so you're stuck with intel EXTREME graphics! Which is fine for watching movies and surfing the net. The power supply is rated for 250w so maybe an extra one or two hard drives, but that's about it. The machine is a basic workstation so expansion is limited. 3 pci slots, onboard sound/lan/graphics. Basic but gets the job done. Did I mention it's extremely quiet?

okidoki987

The more I read about this, the more I'm sorry I didn't get one.
If anybody who ordered doesn't want it, I'll take it.

vigos

well the same pc is still there, only now its €337 incl vat and shipping

Paddymcc

Mine arrived today.

Thanks for the alert!

Scruff

yeah but it was a much nicer deal when it was €50 cheaper

When did you order?
I just ordered one in the (very) optimistic hope of it being delivered before the end of the week. Might have to buy a few pairs of socks so I have something to give to the old pair on christmas day...

the_jocky

Yep, hope you are right. I think this is an end of line, and they will probably want to get rid - of! for about €99.99c in New Year, as everyone now want's a built in DVD+/- RW included as bog standard .

I seem to remember someone posting about a discount link for Dell, if you were a member of staff of a business buying from them (Extra 7% discount) ?..now I can not find that link .

Never mind, everything comes to he who waits Hopefully.

P.:cool:

the_jocky

in the uk i see better prices higher specs i posted up a link in this forum
but in genrel the model of dell 2.3 cell processor only matches an early p4 1.7 so i see good deals ahead my friend

That would be the only black mark on the machine, they could of supplied cdrw that read dvds. So another €45 on a DVDRW. Still a top machine though.

I was just talking over this deal at todays price with a friend who has a degree in computers/computing. In his opinion I could not build it for the money.

So, as I want a CPU to connect to my new DELL W2600 LCD/Monitor TV, without disturbing my current computer set up. I decided to order it.

Got it for €318 delivered, from:- www.dell.ie/epp/

Thats a relief .

I see exactly what you were doing Merc but they did ship to a different address for me (the town was the same though) from the credit card address so it does not have to be exactly exact . I bought 10 for the local school last week.

the_jocky

gettin back to basics then i can buy a pc for 398 pounds 3.8 ghtz 800fsb 17inch tft etc. and plug in me ecodes on the uk address and give my credit card details with my irish addy and its happy days?

need a login to read that. post up the details.

It would be sweet if ye could order as if from the u.k and get it shipped to address in ireland...

Paddy20. Do you not need a DVI connection on the pc to be able to connect it to that tv?
