WarrensWorld Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I'm about to upgrade my desktop computer and need a few ideas and a bit of advice. In the past I've chosen DELL, but they seem to cost an awful lot of money for what they contain nowadays. I really just need the tower or mini-tower the peripherals monitor keyboard etc, I've already upgraded too. So any ideas, recommendations at all thanks. PS: I already have a laptop.

WarrensWorld Posted October 4, 2010 Author Share Posted October 4, 2010 What's it you want this beastie to do? Well I'm not that into gaming, I just want a 64 bit, windows 7, large memory and fast!. Perhaps an half way decent graphics card.... . circa £400.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoid Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I would wait until next year before buying any new computer equipment as they are replacing BIOS with UEFI, which means computers could boot in seconds. More info here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 ES recently bought a desktop from **HERE** - Hate the website but the computer is fantastic (not bought for the purpose of gaming in mind). Extremely fast, boot up within seconds and is very slick. It was much better value that a Dell and the sort of thing available at PC World etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I think this looks a good bargain if you just want the tower: ***Aldi PC*** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickric Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I think this looks a good bargain if you just want the tower: ***Aldi PC*** The systems from Aldi are very good, we had one for about 4 years with no problems, only got rid because I wanted something newer, gave it to my niece and it's still going strong. Seriously worth considering if you can find one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrensWorld Posted October 5, 2010 Author Share Posted October 5, 2010 Oh dear I've just found a computer with an Hex core (6 core) processor "AMD Phenom II X6 1035T - 2,6GHz - Six Core" fast start up too. It's all getting very confusing.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

debbier Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 You can buy Dell systems without the monitor, though it can take a bit of digging around on their site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrensWorld Posted November 14, 2010 Author Share Posted November 14, 2010 Just a quick update, I'm now on my new computer. Intel Quad core 2.8, 8GB ram, 1TB hard drive and its all working fine.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
