    Saw this on PC World Business site. What do you think? Don't need a monitor and Dell seems to include monitors on their site.

    Not bad, but right now PC World have a system thats 299 including monitor - would be equally as good for basic office use, and you get a 15" tft whilst still saving money over opting for the Sempron.

    Cheers guys but have noticed the Dell outlet have this for €431 excluding VAT and Delivery, and they're giving €80 off until midnight tomorrow! No wireless card though which I do need. But maybe I can use a usb adapter instead! The monitor isn't an issue with me as I have a spare one here. What do you think?

    Good deal. The E521 I think has a pci-e slot so add in a graphics card and you'd even have a decent gaming PC. How much is vat and delivery though? That might hike the price enough to stop considering it a true bargin, especially if its only going to be used for basic tasks anyway.

    Vat would take that to €521.51 plus delivery (€60), minus discount (€80). So you'll be looking at (about) €500.
