lol thats a uber price. :D
 
That looks like a Dell spec - in which case it cannot be beaten price wise but can be beaten easily performance wise for not much more.

Can you give me an example spec which would be not much more?

You are correct in your assumption. Just working out whether to sell it and purchase something else, or to keep it.
 
Buying something that is not a dell unlocks overclocking.

Which means you can buy a 4300/2160 and stick a big cooler on it and clock it to kingdom come. Personally I would rather do that than get a system that has a special 'Dell OS', a locked motherboard that has no proper drivers and very cheap ram indeed.

Maybe my "A little more" was a tad ambitious - spec is £440 and missing some bits :)

So its a pretty good deal then :p
 
They don't appear to have much of a clue about what they are putting into the machine or at least they are selling themselves short - SATA is at least 150mb/s (potential) transfer rate, old fashioned IDE/ATA was 100mb/s.

Can you upgrade anything on that specification e.g. the graphics card or move to Vista Premium? Otherwise it is a very good price.
