This is a duplicate post, sorry!
The original post (http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/zoostorm-amd-a4-3300-2gb-320gb-no-os-149-ebuyer-1265907?page=4) says expired when it isnt - theyre in stock.
4 pages of comments to browse through on the original post.
I think this is a good deal, given that you can install Ubuntu , obtain a screen and you have a working computer.
My 9 year old Pentium 4 2GHz is creaking a bit now, so may get this for the kidz to play the online games.

    I think people expired it because Its garbage

    What would you suggest then for persons wanting a basic inexpensive computer ?


    £149.93 + windows + pc screen. And when people plan to upgrade you would need to replace most if not all of the parts :3


    £149.93 + ubuntu + use your old screen = 149.93. Perhaps people will buy this and run it into the ground, upgrading wont come into it.

    Yes because every person is going to want to use ubuntu.


    Yes, you're exactly right. There are a lot of other free linux distros to choose from :p

    An average score of 8.7 out of 10 from 72 reviews can't be garbage .

    This sort of spec computer isn't for the ever upgrading enthusiast; it's for those who are looking for an inexpensive machine to browse the internet, check emails and use office applications. A lot of people buy much higher spec computers and don't to a great deal more. This machine is perfectly adequate for those tasks. Also a lot of people already have a monitor of sorts or would prefer the option of buying one separately. Also there are free alternatives to Windows as you probably know.

    Those are called HTC Mozarts...... It's not garbage, it a fair price for a basic computer, if no operating system bothers you, there's loads of free linux, some have a look of windows to them... makes me laugh when people say dual core pc, ideal for surfing or cheap server.... a pentium 75 is ok for surfing or a server FFS!

    I have bought one of these, for business use. Windows XP Pro transferred (legally) from the old machine and a very cost effective upgrade. (The one odd thing I would mention is that the HDD is a 2.5" laptop model, presumably because they had some lying about.)

    I've tried Linux repeatedly and it lasts 5 minutes until I realise how great Windows is in comparison.

    However much I despair of Zoostorm, at that price it's just good fun. Ubuntu or PuppyLinux and headphones to drown out cheap fan noise. Now, if they would just make a version without a DVD or hard drive and fit an SSD.

    "This sort of spec computer isn't for the ever upgrading enthusiast; it's for those who are looking for an inexpensive machine to browse the internet, check emails and use office applications. A lot of people buy much higher spec computers and don't to a great deal more."

    Exactly the kind of people who will turn around in 6 months time saying "It's running a bit slow and takes ages to start! Mate, can't you do something?" This machine is obsolete for anything other than Linux enthusiasts IMHO. It might be cheap - but it's cheap for a reason.

    Would this play back 1080p? Possible XBMC box?
