brixton Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 I`m looking for another PC for the kids to do their school work and to surf the net. Nothing fancy. This looks a good deal at ??239: http://www1.euro.dell.com/content/products...dhs1&l=en&s=dhs What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Carlos Posted April 9, 2006 Moderators Share Posted April 9, 2006 T'would be fine. My only reservation is that Windows Vista is on it's way to replace XP and that won't be able to run it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And will i be able to connect it up so i can run both my computers on the one broadband account? Dunno, compare it to other deals on offer. Connecting it up would be easy, may need an extra wireless card and router though, that'll be over ??50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traf Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Brix, All you need is a wireless router and you can run several computers off one broadband connection. It's that easy I sorted it within an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whites man Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 You can buy a box with Linux for about ??150 from dabs, a ITK nerd can easily sort out a copy of XP. I can sort a monitor out sub ??20, no probs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
