The reason I have made this thread is that I have seen too many buying a PC then asking us what we think, only to be told that you have paid too much for it.
So the moral of the story is ask people on here first, we are can offer unbiased advice for free unlike the big computer stores
I just got sick of people paying £1000 for a gloried word processor so hopefully this thread will reduce the profits of gready vendors and help members get a better PC.

This thread, could also be used for advice on helping peeps build a computer?
so if anyone has any good "build your own pc" links then post them in here, and if it is alright by you Ian, you could edit your first post and put them in there.

The thing is many people could make do with a computer from 1997, but you just couldn't get that anymore. you have to spend hundreds even if you just want to word process...

Thats what second hand or refurbished machines are for
Even then I reckon I could build and supply a 100% brand new PC including a monitor for £250.

Building computers for WP and stuff is dead easy and its dead cheap too... £250 is a bit generous in fact! I could do it (at a push) for £150-200 I think... Inc. Monitor

Yeah but they're certainly not as readily available as new PCs. And most people don't realise that they could make do with an old, inexpensive machine.
Someone could make a lucrative business out of selling very low-end PCs. What do you need a 500GB HD for if you're just going to word process?

Un-technically knowledgeable people like big numbers, unfortunatly. With the lower end stuff you start getting cheap and poor quality components which as we all know is a slipperly slope to becoming the same as any other OEM.
Anyhoo, if i'm around i'll keep an eye on this thread too.
I think some of the last of the line ones were 64 bit. Link.
Okay, So if a Sempron was an Athlon 64 with the 64-bit instructions disabled, then why is it still called a Sempron if they reactivate the instructions?
