Lots of people say that, but if you add up the price of the individual components (from ebuyer) you can buy them all for about the same price.

Yes, ebuyer are putting them together, but this would take ebuyer no more than about 15 minutes.

It does not come with an operating system, so basically you are just buying about 7 components that ebuyer have put together for you.

LOL

And of course, EVERYONE knows how to put all those components together so why are they even bothering to sell it pre-built!!??

HOT from me (and I work in IT!)

Damn, I wish I'd have thought have doing that. I bought this last week and its a great bit of kit for the price, but I so wish I'd realised that i could buy all the bits myself and put it together myself to save the people at ebuyer the trouble of putting it together for me.

I'm well pleased with my purchase. Recommend this to anyone wanting a decent pc at a decent price, but remember, you need an operating system.......

AND NO, IT WONT PLAY CALL OF DUTY WELL ON IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im typing this message right now on the PC specified in the deal -
Its good value, dont expect much from the graphics card however it can run not-so demanding games like Guild Wars, World of Warcraft and Battlefield heroes (all games i tried)
ive added a HD4850 to mine and a corsair 450W power supply - all in all i ended up getting a decent gaming rig for 320 quid, smashing.

Bought one of these at eBuyer when it was posted at about £230, just over a month ago. As Jack-L92 said, it's a really capable PC, especially for gaming, if you add a decent graphics card (and probably a new PSU), but it's also a great price for just an everyday-use machine which will be futureproof for at least a few years.
A worthy investment if you're looking for a new computer.

It looks like this is a Pentium dual core processor in the system and not a core 2 duo, that along with the onboard graphics are my only two cons on this system.
Just getting the components alone would cost around the same price so hot deal imo

If I remember my benches right this e5300 beats out alot of the older conroe core 2 duo's whilst running cooler and for the price the e5300 is a great cpu.
