Just noticed this in an ad, don`t know how good Microstar is, but here are the specs:
Intel P4 2.0GHz 256Mb DDR RAM 40Gb HD DVD Rom/CD rewriter drives 64Mb GeForce 4 Graphics TV out 56k Modem Stereo Sound and Speakers 17" monitor Software: Windows XP, Star Office
I have to say it`s very tempting..

Did anybody get this?
It is virtually as good as the ALDI deal last month if you include the monitor.

Last time I saw a tempting cheapie at PC World I gave it a look and discovered it had no expansion capability - make sure there are empty expansion and memory slots.
In the end after trying a couple of cheaper brands (Novatech and Omni Data Systems) I discovered that the cheap machines are just that - cheap. Both had design faults that the manufacturer could not fix (Novatech) or refused to acknowledge (Omni). In the end I plumped for a recognised brand (Evesham). I got same specs with better guarantee and 0% for about £100 more than the cheapies. Don't know what their deals are now as I stopped checking specs after I bought mine six months ago.
