Hmm, have any of you guys seen an ad at bus stops, advertising only an Intel desktop, without extra stuff like monitors, keyboards etc?

If I am not wrong, its a 3.2 GHz Intel CPU bundle, with 40 GB HDD, XP Home Edition and one more paraphernilia that I have forgotten

I am not sure if its by Dell, but I am sure like to know if you guys know what brand it is.

Thanks

A good enough PC as you said. Not too sure about the services though, as everything is cheap enough.

Why give a link that leads us to post something? Rolling Eyes

abao SG

sorry Embarassed my wrong

nightzip SG

can, worth it!

remember to ask about warrantee periods..for the pc and ind. items.

Also ask for upgrade of 256mb ram to at least 512 or 1gb..cuz running windows, surfing net and doing some work simultaneously, seriously 256mb abit too little.

Else, for $399 is cool! Razz Very Happy

nightzip SG

OOHH...one thing, its in Linux open office OS, so you may not be familiar in it...as its not microsoft explorer...

maybe mayi can help you by advising if you can reformat the PC and install Microsoft OS? Very Happy

I dunno if its a Mac or Intel...cuz architecture different and maybe an OS limitation. Rolling Eyes
