We need a couple of general use computers at work - just to surf the internet on. As far as I know these are used but refurbished.

Description: Compaq Evo Workstation W6000, P4 Xeon 1.7GHz processor, CDROM, 512MB memory, 18GB hard drive, pre-installed with Windows 2000 Professional, package includes brand new keyboard & mouse.
Warranty: 30 day return to base warranty, goods found to be faulty on arrival will be collected.
Price inc. VAT and delivery: £139.95
 
If it's just internet stuff, then those will work fine. But if your going to be using apps that take up a good amount of space, i would look into computers that have a larger hard drive. And whats the price in USD?
 
Definitely worth it but as geoff said, get a bigger hard drive if you are going to use large files on it. Since this is a refurbished PC, it might not come with the OS install disk....that would be a problem if you get a new HDD.

The pricing could be worse but there can be better deals to be had especially for second-rate boxes :)

I dont know why you keep asking this cuz you've been told a few times on how to look it up yourself ;) (i.e., www.xe.com or a quick google)

I'll find out if I can obtain a disk with OS. Hard-drive is small I agree but rest of the package looks good to me. It is a bit difficult for you Americans to judge as your PCs are cheaper anyway. Any UK heads about?
 
Sounds like a deal. HD should be fine for net usage. I mean I'm only useing 17G on my HD ;)

Now, even with that price, do you need that Xeon? I mean it just seems like a bit of overkill, but yeah, great price.
