Price Check please!

How much is a machine of this spec worth, brand new, Dell branded?

* Intel Core-2 Duo E6400
* 2GB RAM
* 2 x 160GB (320GB) Hard Disk Drive
* DVD & DVDRW
* NVidia GeForce 7900GS 256MB
* Windows Vista Home Premium
* 12-months Warranty

Thanks :)

EDIt: Just specced this up on the Dell site and you cant select the exact HW spec but the closest one seems to be about £780inc but its not identical. Seem about right?

[Mark]

Yeah, that sounds about right based on what I paid recently through work.

[Dr. Z]

Well if anyone wants them I have a "limitless" supply of these for ~£470.

110% legitimate stock from cancelled orders etc.

If a few people want one I might be able to get a volume discount too :)

[Mark]

Nice...Tempting...I already have too many PCs. :(

[Zirax]

Not bad price at all, I may get my sister to have a look. FYI there is a comparable system for about £600, but its quad core (albeit with a lesser x1300 card)

My cousin Dave called me just now asking about costs of a new PC, he'd been quoted some silly price from his local shop so I mentioned this - He seemed quite keen and will let me know over the weekend.

Even more tempting - not bothered about the x1300. Details please (for comparison purposes). :)

Thats peanuts for a quad core!!! With the raid 0 that'll absolutely fly, only slight upgrade would be the 2gb ram

[Mark]

2GB is more than enough for me, even with Vista.

Hope that's not a time-limited offer, as I might have to ponder. I'd sell my Dual Xeon box to make room.

Thats exactly the units I am talking about :) Run by two schoolfriends of mine and I used to be very heavily involved with it too :)

Obviously, go direct with them if you wish but if a couple of you are interested talk to me first and I might well be able to get it at a touch of "mates rates"...

[Zirax]

No time limited offers, but I had a friend looking at this earlier and it can be beaten from overclockers. I'm referring to the link of mine rather than drz's one

Back on topic for 470 ish that drz can get them for its damn tempting. Actually looking at it, that beats the Dell brand new price, but doesn't compare for bang / buck with drz's system
