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.
My last desktop was from DNUK <http://www.dnuk.com/> and they were pretty good. They're customisable, including the OS. Not quite the cheapest, but their lowest spec machines come within your budget. I'm afraid I can't say whether or not you'd have a good experience with them. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Richard Lewis ISMS, Computing Goldsmiths, University of London Tel: +44 (0)20 7078 5134 Skype: richardjlewis JID: ironchicken@jabber.earth.li http://www.richardlewis.me.uk/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- +----------------------------------------------+ | Support open access to scholarship | | http://freeculture.org/ http://www.doaj.org/ | +----------------------------------------------+
