    Tesco Maynooth have a limited number of Acer desktop computers.

    Euro 199 for a desktop, Core 2 Duo 2.2Ghz, 2 Gb RAM, 160Gb HDD, DVDRW no monitor
    Euro 299 desktop, Dual Core Pentium 2 Ghz, 1 Gb RAM, 160Gb HDD, DVDRW, 17" LCD monitor

    Both are onboard graphics and audio, with a 10/100 Nic, no wireless

    Specs are pretty crap- but its cheap and cheerful......

    Yes- the wife had to drag me away. I was curious more than anything else- the specifications are pretty atrocious- but they are cheap....?

    No bad for some solitaire and surfing all the same, just what I know it would be used for :)

    More than capable- it has Vista Home Premium on it though- I'd be very tempted to strip it and whack XP Pro on in its place- if you have a spare license. The operating system itself is going to be a limiting factor- given how poor the specs are.....

    I run XP Pro on my Proper desktop, missus has Vista on her Vaio and I'm still lost with it, and I wouldn't be a hapless techno weenie either.
