  Will it play crysis on ultra?
  
  Though seriously, what is the mobo? Wondering if this is worth buying to upgrade in future.

  Kind of odd that it is rocking a 2.5" HDD. Will certainly help with noise and power consumption, but I can't imagine it'll help the performance that much Should do the job for a standard computer and you can put windows 8 for free on it for a few months. Pretty hot, I reckon.

  I'd be more worried about the drive being 5400rpm or 7200rpm rather than its form factor.

  That's kind of what I meant, without being explicit. However, the cache is also generally lower on 2.5" drives too, which will negatively affect performance. It's bizarre though, because 2.5" drive generally tend to be more expensive than their larger equivalents. Ebuyer must've obtained a job-lot of cheap 320GB ones that weren't selling.

  My laptop drive is on its way out and I have a 3.5" 500gb spare so could do a simple swap, something to think about!

  Install Ubuntu for free. Simple enough for anyone for internet usage, plus less risk of viruses.

  What an Idiotic thing to say. Rare enough that the pc has basically FREE assembly & delivery, which makes it a pretty good price. Gotta remember what you said, casual users use this pc, and most casual users won't be able to assemble their own, making this a decent bang for their buck
