Page 1 of Microstar P4 2GHz £799 at PC WORLD

Just noticed this in an ad, don`t know how good Microstar is, but here are the specs:

Intel P4 2.0GHz
256Mb DDR RAM
40Gb HD
DVD Rom/CD rewriter drives
64Mb GeForce 4 Graphics
TV out
56k Modem
Stereo Sound and Speakers
17" monitor
Software: Windows XP, Star Office

I have to say it`s very tempting..

Did anybody get this?

It is virtually as good as the ALDI deal last month if you include the monitor.

Last time I saw a tempting cheapie at PC World I gave it a look and discovered it had no expansion capability - make sure there are empty expansion and memory slots.

In the end after trying a couple of cheaper brands (Novatech and Omni Data Systems) I discovered that the cheap machines are just that - cheap. Both had design faults that the manufacturer could not fix (Novatech) or refused to acknowledge (Omni). In the end I plumped for a recognised brand (Evesham). I got same specs with better guarantee and 0% for about £100 more than the cheapies. Don't know what their deals are now as I stopped checking specs after I bought mine six months ago.

Thats not bad but ive picked up a pc (none of this limited stock business) here`s the spec:

Athlon 1.9xp+ (1.6)
256Mb DDR Ram
60Gb HD
DVD Rom/CD rewriter drives
Geforce 4 440MX Graphics Card(with tv out)
56K Modem
2.1Stereo speakers
17" .23dpi monitor
USB Hub (5 slots in total)
Software: XP Pro, Office XP

All for exactly £764.96 not bad
