Following on from a thread i created about wanting to get a cheap laptop i have decided i could get more for my money with a cheap desktop. SO basicly i am looking for a cheap desktop, no monitor, no keyboard, no mouse needed. All it has to do is run bebo and the like, have network capabilities and plenty of usb ports. As its for the gf i am not to fussed on makes, model blah blah blah.
So far this is the best i have come up with:
Processor . . . .Intel 2400
Memory . . . . .512MB
Flash BIOS . . . 4MB Flash memory for system BIOS, set-up, Plug-and-Play, DMI 2.0s and SMBIOS 2.3.1 support
Video Graphics Controller . . Integrated Intel Extreme graphics* or 4X AGP
Hard Drives . . ..Enhanced IDE SMART II ATA/100; 20GB
EIDE Controller . . Integrated PCI dual channel ATA/100 and PIO mode 4 support, Bus Master EIDE hard drive controller
Network Controller . . . ..Integrated Intel Pro
Audio . . . .Integrated AC97 audio
Standard I/O Ports . . .USB 2.0 (6), serial (1), 2nd port available via add-in card, parallel, PS/2 keyboard, PS/2 mouse, RJ-45,
external VGA, Stereo line-in (mini-jack), microphone-in (mini-jack), speakers/line-out (mini-jack) and headphone (minijack,
front)
Operating Systems . . . .Microsoft® Windows® XP Professional;
£70 inc VAT
Only thing i dont like is the size of the hard drive. I can pick up a new hard drive for pretty cheap neway so thats not to much bother. However ive got upto £200 to spend so if i could get a bit of a better spec that ill be willing to go up a bit.
Appreciate the help
