[Request] Media Centre PC / Possible Dell Bargain?

    I have been looking on the Dell outlet store for a media centre PC. I have not seen anything that I feel is a bargain so I decided to look outside the outlet store.

    I was looking at this 3100 (D04316) ~ €640 Delivered
    P4 2800
    1024 (Special Offer Doubled from 512)
    19' LCD (Special Offer 17" to 19")
    Media Centre 2005
    Crappy free printer (Special Offer)
    Free Delivery (Special Offer €60)

    Similar machines on the outlet store are 520 - 580 Euro (+VAT) and without the 19' LCD monitor.

    Any comments / opinions on this? Could I do better?

    Thanks

    Not realy a media centre PC just a PC with Media centre OS,
    no TV card no speakers just a regular PC with MC OS
    but still a nice piece of kit with a 19" FP Monitor.

    The 5150 is a better PC. Dual Core CPU and a PCI Express slot.
