Am thinking of getting the current Aldi computor offer, only £849 (without monitor of course)
What`s the general build quality of medion computors like? Has anyone had a previous aldi offer before?

My son bought himself a medion computer last year from PC World...to cut a long story short... well 6 mths short and numerous phone calls.. not knowing a*se from elbow come to mind, we eventually got a replacement, this is still a medion build and as far as I know he hasn`t had any problems with this one. I saw the comp your talkin about at aldi also, and I must admit I thought it was a good buy, but if you have any computer knowledge or even just a little like me, Id go for a build your own, Ive got top spec machine now and all the parts only cost me appprox £500 (not incl monitor)...and believe me if I can build one anyone can!!......
