Alan, General user

Score 9.0/10
Good points:
Prompt delivery, great price. Nice quick machine with a compact case so takes up less space than its predecessor.
Bad points:
No recovery disk. Minimal paperwork in terms of manuals - but it was a refurb, so not too much of a problem. Recovery disk easily made.

Martin, Brighton General user

Score 7.0/10
Good points:
It's very small, very cheap, very quiet and more than adequate for normal everyday use.
Bad points:
Due to it's small size - about 2/3 the height and 1/2 the width of a normal tower- it is not really expandable, but it's got 2GB RAM which is more than adequate, and you can always use an external Hard Disc if you need more than 320GB available.

It's a good computer, great for your first desktop. I purchased this for my brother and he lives it, does everything he wants.

    2. I suppose it depends on what sort of games you play. As its my brothers computer he tends to play sims and racing games. It seems to be ok :)
      It all depends on graphics and how fast the processor is, but I would say its a brilliant deal for what you get n worth the buy :)
