    Basically my pc has been condemned, dead hard drive and a fault on the motherboard. I don't really use it for much and my son tends to use it for the internet, research and games - club pengiun etc....

    I've been looking at Amazon and they have desktops around 60stg which are used or refurbished, the one I looked at was a Dell GX280.

    Anyone done this? Im thinking even if I only get 6-12 months out of it it has to be worth it??

    Any advice?

    Get a pc, on adverts .ie ,
    windows xp, 1gig ram,dvd/cdrw drive, 80gig drive 60 euro approx.
    cpu pentium 4 or dual core at least 2.oghz.
    plug it in to your monitor .
    Put old pc on adverts.ie ,
    free,
    REMOVE the hardrive, from the pc case,if theres any passwords, email passwords, bank info,credit card account ,info on the drive.
    Some games require a certain grahics card,
    eg 128meg video ram.
    theres always great deals on adverts,ie ,for sale/ computer hardware.
    Look for minimum specs ram video card for games you play.
