The total prices comes to £140 including postage, and i will be buying of ebay, like i say im not looking to make it a really high spec computer to play the latest games.

I asked the man that i would be buying it off and this is what he said..

Hi Ben

This is a PC with a small form factor so standard IDE cards won't fit.

You have to get smaller version of IDE cards. This PC has a AGP slot

so you need to get an AGP card that should sit on small form factor case.

These types of cards are always available. and the upgrade can be done much easily.

Actually easier than normal tower computers.

regards


Let me know fast please because if it is a good computer which will fit my needs, im looking to buy it today..

Thanks Ben
 
Well that's pretty decent for the price, but it's a bit outdated.

EDIT: Remember that you can only put DDR RAM in there and not DDR2.

I know its abit outdated.. but im not looking for the newest and bestest comp, because im just looking to play oldish games..

Ask for the Graphics card i dont know was thinking maybe a Geforce or Nvidia 512mb not sure but thats what i got told.

The Ram im going to max out too 2gb RAM and the hard drive when i get enough just upgrade it to maybe a 150 - 200gb..

Well thats the general plan, let me know what you think




Thanks Ben
