The specs on this computer are really worth the money now for it. The computer has now been brought down to about £250 in the shops so it's quite good as a first off computer for people who want to learn how to use and computer and browse the internet and so forth. The 60GB HDD drive is awesome to hold your own data on however I now have two hard drives in this computer (so that means you can add on hard drives!) and therefore you can increase the ...

The 12.8 Gb Hard Disk has tons of space for the average home user and it comes with a Zip Drive to back up your work anyway. This system comes with a Toshiba DVD ROM which is great for entertainment. The only problem is that the speakers on this system could be better as they are only just powerful enough to listen to the DVD. I recently upgraded my system ... Read review
