Is this a good deal?

[Mario]

ok, i dunno if this is in the right forum, sorry if its not. Im looking to hopefully get a new computer which is good at playing games and stuff, i saw this one in the argos catalogue, and me, being terrible at computing want to know if its a good deal or not, im hoping to get it in january when it might be a bit cheaper.

It's not the best deal out there, the cheapest would probably be ebuyer (http://www.habboxforum.com/www.ebuyer.com)

Fujitsu Siemens is kinda the worst make ever :P

[Kyle!]

Yeah its a good deal, good for gaming aswell.

[Stephen!]

Case looks like it's from the Year 2000

[DarrenToogood]

Similar specs to my computer, and I built that myself for £550.

Case wouldn't cope with the needs of cooling.

Its a 9600GT with a Q6600 @ Stock. It would be fine.

[Josh-H]

I think it is yeh

[--ss--]

yh it is, I paid £200 extra for mine which is around a simmilar spec to that but has a much much worse graphics card, the brand may not be big but it's specs look flawless so I say go for it/research it a bit further and see if there are any direct reviews.

My first ever computer was P3 Fujitsu, back before Siemens joined with them... ahh good times xD

Nothing beats 80gb Emachines with 128mb Ram xox

[Recursion]

[Technologic]

[Recursion]

Aww cmon, its not that bad LOL

is your emachines a 3230 which has 2.8ghz and also has a e button in the middle which goes blue?
and I have a fujitsu siemens laptop and it hasnt broken yet... or it probs has I just forgotten.

I was going to get that from argos... but every so often Aldi sell better spec computers at much cheaper.

Yeah I got that... my speakers are gone somewhere a few yrs back I added 128mb ram to 256mb wow!

[lolwut]

If you ignore the tacky case, that seems like a good computer. The parts are quite good but it might be worth cracking open the case and replacing any dodgy cheapo bits. There's bound to be some bit of crap in there somewhere.

[illegal]

It's a good deal, but not the best and the PC is alright spec wise, but I hate the case.

[Nick.]

Fujitsu Siemens are a seriously rubbish manufacturer. I bought a £600 laptop back in 2005 and it broken one and a half years later, we only used it in the house. :|
Btw it's out of stock LOL
