Title: PC Deals @ around £500
Post by: kitz on July 09, 2008, 11:26:49 AM

Just had a request from a friend who needs new PC asap. 
Does anyone know anyone know of any decent deals going atm.

Their requirements

Must inc monitor (pref 19" widescreen)
Decent spec Intel processor.
Separate Graphics card
Vista Home Premium
2 Optical Drives
Card Reader
Backing of a decent Company build

Budget circa £500


[edited processor]
I'd orginally thought the requirement was quad core, but had misunderstood.

Thanks Oranged :)

I'll pass on details of the Aspire M1640, although it needs an extra optical drive and doesnt include the monitor..  theres spare £ at that price to do it.

BTW - although its not up to the specs required in this instance .. that acer L310 smallForm system for £400 is pretty cute isnt it?
