Change the warranty to 1 year Collect & Return.

Upgrading the memory (256MB) should be simple but apparently the case maybe small to add a second hard drive so choosing to upgrad (from 40Gb) to 80 Gb might be worth the £30). There`s a bit more discussion of the options on rpoints.com if you`re interested.

Thanks for the post. Bump, :)

I want an honest opinion from somebody in the know, which is going to be the better system?

I wiould have to upgrade one system to include cdrw/dvd drive, but that includes a tft!
but it also states no modem...
i have blueyonder box for broadband so do i need a modem?
also is it worth the extra £39 to have pre-install of software... how difficult is it to install?

HELP... :/



`I am going to live forever, or die trying`...

in a desktop system i`d avoid celeron cpu`s, mainly because they are the budget range, but at this price i don`t think you can go wrong, may struggle on cpu heavy stuff like games tho.

If the Blueyonder box plugs into a modem then you will need a modem but if its USB you won`t i am thinking.

Hope that makes sense,

If i remember right, the blueyonder (cable) modems plug into a network card, so you wont need a modem.

The newer Blueyonder cable modems are both ethernet and USB. Ethernet is the way to go though.

Not quite in the same price bracket (almost though) but my Dell turned up on Thursday...
