Bigpockets Top Performance 4600+ Dual-Core 2.4Ghz PC System £254.99 Delivered


£254.99

-68°

FOUND BY: eyebaws 6 months, 2 weeks ago

95% certain i shall be buying this come payday. Needing a semi-decent PC to replace my current one. Not concerned about gaming or that so I'm thinking this looks ideal for me. Obviously may be proved wrong by the heat of this :D

Also available with 2gb Ram for an extra £19.99.

Comes without an operating system so you will need to "obtain" this yourself or Vista can be added for an extra £85


Full Spec Available on link.

i think its cold considering the processor is an outdated one (about 4 yrs old now) and 1gb and its just the base unit, u can save urselef about a tenner by upgrading the ram urself. on the other hand you get a coolermaster case but still cold for me sry eyebaws.

Utter rubbish :S that processor and motherboard combo brand new is less than £80.

eyebaws, if you're in need of an awesome system, hit me up and i'll build you one I'm guessing you're local (glasgow?)

HUGE props for this post - this is how people need to reply here.

Not "**** spec. - cold" or "not worth it - cold" nonsense - we need reasons why and better alternatives...

Many thanks, rep well earned...

Got this exact same system about 14 months ago from Bigpockets. replaced it after 8 months. (I paid another £100+). System was ok as a basic,, fan was bearable, graphics were a little naff, ok for basic use again. speed was ok, but not as good as Intel. Like others have said, there are better ones out there. (Not voting as i am biased)

Actually the latest version of the 4600 (which I assume this is) was only released in April last year.

But yes, with only 1GB of ram and no operating system this is definitely a cold deal. Even dell's cheapest inspiron has far bettter specs and a far better price once you've added a copy of windows to this.
