Cheap office system

[Kimi]

Hi guys, i hope you can help, im looking for a cheap as possible system that runs Windows 7 Professional, the machine will only be used for running tracking software for my business so it doesn't need to be super fast, it will just be sitting in the corner ticking over, id like to buy one from OcUK preferably.

Im not opposed to build it myself if someone prefers to specs parts and offers a considerable saving but prebuilt would be handy

Thanks

What sort of storage do you need? 500GB/1TB?

Cannot beleave the price of Windows

Anyhow it should be more than enough for your needs. 500GB hard drive would be difficult to fill up even if it does undergo heavy storing. 4GB RAM seems enough and the Intel Pentium is actually pretty powerful. Could even maybe get away with a celeron.

Forgot optical drive! A cheapy one such as : http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CD-099-LG would be great

The PSU used is one of them cheap and nasty ones so personally I would avoid the OCUK value builds, to afraid of it blowing up or failing in a few weeks

Smoogels i wouldn't be concerned with the PSUs we have used them flawlessly over the last 18months with no major issues in all of our pre-builds.

If you an even cheaper system OP, try this systems:
