it looks ok but you did not say the cost only then can you tell as to whether its value for money.

It looks good, what are you paying for it?

[owenb]

do u want it to be itx the spec looks ok if u do but personally i like ax sytems as heat is no issue

[john8867]

Tks guys.

It's on a well known auction site with a starting price of ?399.

Woz gonna go for a Dell unit but am tempted by this as it has a Core i5 and the seller seems ok.

Any thoughts on what the max price is u would pay?

Excuse my ignorance mate but r u saying an ax system is cooler?

My pc is in the living room so i really need a quiet system if possible.

Its look pretty desent for ?399, but you didn't specified what it's main purpose is going to be. No real gfx card then it's intel igp (only good for movies).
BTW to you all god people of DK forum stay away from Samsung HD103SI EcoGreen F2 1TB SATA-II 3.5" Hard Drives, 99.9% of them are going to fail. My friend owns computer shop and those drives are giving him headache of life time.
