You'll get the usual "you could build it cheaper yourself" replies, but I really rate the Medion PC's that Aldi sell. Always good branded components etc.

 

You could build it cheaper yourself.

 

see!!!

 

Thanks Caveman.
I'll go and visit them on Saturday and see if they've got any. I'll report back here with impressions if I end up buying it or indeed if I go and build one cheaper myself :P

Sorry, had to be done.

Suresh, I'd recommend getting there early on the first day of the offer otherwise they'll be gone
