Advantages: Brilliant easy to use and you do get the windows xp disk
Disadvantages: none really

This Fujitsu computer was not that well know to us when we went looking for 2 computers. We had at the time tried to price up the components for a build and when we added the cost of Windows Xp x 2 it was a lot more, £300 more at the time, so we had to buy. The budget at the time was £1000 for 2 good computers with monitors,speakers,keybboard and mouse. Warranty would just be the normal 1 year unless we could get that included too. We had a look ...
...us about these Brand new Fujitsu Scaleo 600 systems theat had to go because of a shop re-fit. They were at rock bottom prices and within our budget. We purchased 2 FS P4 computers with 80 GB drives 2.53 CPU's and ATI graphic cards for £998 all in but without any other warranty. That was in 2003. I am now using this same FS P4 computer to write this reveiw. The scaleo in that time has been brilliant and proved 100% reliable. The back-up disks you ... Read review

Advantages: Superb value, quality components
Disadvantages: None

I purchased the 'October 2003 Mesh Matrix 2500+ TFT' system and it arrived a few days ago. Curiously (this review written on 21st September) this precise system is no longer available, although equivalent and doubtless slightly better value systems are now available under the subtitle November 2003! I am delighted with it in every respect, particularly on the value for money. I shall run through the specification, and comment where I see fit: - ...
...throughout (I have also reviewed Mesh as a company separately, under Offline Hardware retailers). I can't fault it in any way... Except that my only gripe regarding the system is the lack of clear setup instructions from Mesh for the system, and no manual for the speakers. There was just a poster outlining which port was which on the back of the main unit. This isn't ideal for those with little or no experience of setting up PCs! The monitor came ... Read review

Advantages: A good all round system
Disadvantages: DVD writer software

When I was looking around for a new PC I only went in PC World to get a feel for what sort of things were available. I would then look around the various other more reputable high street and on-line manufacturers before parting with my cash. I never thought that 2 hours later I'd be at home setting up this truly excellent machine. This is what I got for £699: Processor: Athlon 2600 XP+ (running at 1913 Mhz) Memory: 512 MB Hard Drive: 80 GB Optical ...

...as small as the replacing of a faulty Floppy Drive. The company I purchased the unit from, PC Interworks, have always been extremely helpful and polite I have owned the Fujitsu Siemens Scaleo 600. for 7 months and have no hesitation in recommending it. John (daedalus1953) ... Read review

Advantages: Great case, processing speed, and memory
Disadvantages: Relatively expensive for what you are getting

80GB is certainly suffinct storage space for the average computer user in this day and age, however, the beauty of this computer is that the case offers the choice of adding memory or disk drives etc very easily. The computer comes ready built in with a DVD-RW that proves to be a brilliant way for backing up ones DVD's. I have found that the 512MB of RAM enables me to run several applications at once whilst the computer continues to run reliably ...
...system decides to freeze. With some of the ports now located at the front of the computer, this enables rapid connection of peripherals such as speakers and with the inclusion of a card reader; enables data transfer of digital files.
