Anyone got any thoughts (good or bad) on these ?

Family member is thinking of buying on of these (a Pent IV 1.8), but was just wondering what they were like performance/reliability wise ?

It's got 256 SDRAM, 40 gig HD. £750 without monitor at PC World.

Cheers

 

I got an old Fujitsu PC (200 MMX) with 32Mb running W95 .... from before they merged/were bought which I've had for over 4 years. Okay it's not very quick but it's been reliable. Haven't had to reformat the hard disk yet and no major crashes, blue screens of death etc.

Hope that helps.

Cheers Sal. I think they've gone ahead and bought it anyway. Sounds like quite a good deal.

I'm sure prices are set to plumet for PC's soon though - manufactures must have stockpiles of yesterday's top-end PCs.

 

I bought one of these a few months back direct from 'NicePC'

1.4 Ghz 40GB 256 SDRAM 17" screen.

Seems a bit slow sometimes, but then again I'm used to a Networked PC @ work.

Paid about £950 inc 3 year warranty for everything (CPU/Monitor, etc).The warranty will cost @ PC world cos I checked it out, and everything is warrantied seperately as I recall.

 

Work just bought 1500 Fujis - the first one out of the box bluescreened The second one didn't though. Will let you know how the other 1499 get on when they're rolled out.....
