    I need to get a machine for general Internet use, email, downloading & maybe burn some CD\DVD's. No gaming or anything too heavy.

    I need to get it ASAP. so can't go the buy the parts & build route.

    In fact I'm not too sure if I could do it for the price of this Dell?

    This Dell is €369 (Including VAT) + delivery @ €60.

    Just looking for anyone's negative thoughts on this machine?

    Or, can anyone suggest a better bang for buck pre built?

    Absolutely Sqaull20 & thanks for that Info.

    I would much prefer an Intel based system myself too.

    Far superior, thanks again ;)

    Is there anyway to find out if the Mobo would have a IDE & floppy port onboard? & what available slots it would have? (Just curious)
