Now before I start - I'm not actually in the market for one :rolleyes:
Just thought this is interesting -- Aldi will be offering the "Medion Titanium MD 8818" soon; and its specs look quite good! :eek:
Going by the specs I found here:

Core 2 Duo e6300
1Gb Samsung DDR2
320Gb Seagate HDD
nVidia 7650GS 256mb DDR2 (looks to be a silent solution!)
full TV-out facilities -- S-video, component, composite & SCART!
3-in-1 TV tuner
Flash-card reader
16x Dual-Layer DVD+/-RW w/Lightscribe
DVD-ROM drive
Wireless card ( :eek: )
6xUSB, 2XFW
On-board audio
Windows MCE 2005
MS Works 8.5
that yoke for allowing the HDD to be taken out & used as an external drive
wireless mouse, keyboard & MCE remote
software that will probably not survive the jump over here :rolleyes:

Now, if they can give that to the Irish market for €799.....

Not a bad deal at all, especially if it is 799. So much better then their last pathetic X2 offer where they had a worse computer with an inferior procesor and inferior gpu a month or two back for 1099.
