I bought one of these - http://www.ebuyer.com/product/225703 - about a year ago (OK, a slightly different spec back then, but the same principle). You save on the MS tax, and whilst it's not necessary the sleekest looking, quietest PC around, who cares when it sits under the desk? I'b buy another If I had the need. The one I had was a Foxconn mobo; ymmv. Note that I'd choose something else if I wanted a 24x7 server, though.

I want to get a new PC - what would be the best buy?
I wondered about this one http://www.ebuyer.com/product/193626
Perhaps some of you build PCs in which case can you do better buy than this?
Obviously to run linux [inc compiz which i haven't been able to do on current PC].
I had thought about a laptop but i thought they ran a bit slower than a desktop for a comparable spec.
