New Computer for less than ?500

[andsum]

Help required.

Looking for a new computer with a 17 flat monitor, at least 80gb hard drive, cd/dvd player don't need rewriter.

Prefer not to get Dell, any others people can recommend?

Also not a laptop.

Thanks

I have 2 Mesh pc's and they serve me well. Try this link.



In your price range.

thanks for your reply.

What is their customer service like?

I find Mesh Customer sevices to be fine, I have only called them a couple of times for software advice but they seem good. My niece also has a Mesh PC for nearly 2 years solid machine. Could do a lot worse, Be thankful TINY went bust, least you wont make a mistake and buy one of their dreadful machines. But for the money that machine is a bargain, PCI express motherboard, and 160 gb hard drive serial ATA. Here is another model at the same price with a 19 inch monitor and AMD processor, this looks to be a better bargain



Hope you get what you'r lookin for anyhow best of luck.

Dell PCs are also good, with low prices.

They only sell over the web but always have deals going on so look around in the papers on for dell deals online

I would go for the Pentium based machine - looks good spec for ?500 inc VAT.

Far less likely to fall over with a software or driver compatibilty issue than an AMD.

Ditto Mesh, excellent specs and components, far better hardware than Dell.

I have AMD x2 4400 processor never had any hardware or software problems, or driver issues. maybe better to go for a 64 bit processor at that price, as they are set up for next gen OS Systems. I have heard of some problems with the older Athlons with certain drivers but the newer CPU's are very good. I have two my niece has one and my friends who are avid gamers love the 64 bit Athlons.
