I bought this desktop set from Ebay for GBP460 net. Its about 15months old and was previously used by a uni student. It was stated that it wasn't heavily used. I thought it was a great price but I have not been following computer prices for a while now. Hope to hear some comments about it. Btw what does the DVI means ? Is it TV-Out. Thanks

Thats a pretty sweet deal, with all that RAM and the massive 120 gig hdd.

Im suprised it didnt go for more.
 
Comes with the drivers and all and some software eg. viewing DVDs and Nero but I don't need any softwares I have enough for my own use. Thanks for the comments. Make me feel not too bad after all. I didn't expect to win the bid so I was kinda surprised and thought I might be missing something. Anyway thanks again
 
not bad spec, depends on make and what mobo.

DVI = Digital Visual Interface

it's the digital equivilant of the analogue VGA (monitor) connection, DVI is generally for digital TFT monitors but can be used for any monitor when used with a DVI-VGA adapter.

bit of extra info here if your interested. note that DVI ports on most mainstream graphics cards are DVI-I so can be used with an adapter.
