It's a small hard disk, but 160GB is way more than the needs you've listed. It's only installing games that would dent that space.

I'd be more put off by the 4GB of RAM.

But it's only £49 admittedly, it's hard to object to that.

You can get machines like that on Adverts as well handily enough for similar money. It's a 1st gen i3 so not really much faster than a high-end Core 2 Duo like the E8400 or E8500, they can definitely be gotten on Ebay/Adverts for €50.
