I have had this computer nearly a year, I am very happy with it, this machine is a god all round machine (a bit of a low specification for high data quantity graphics work and modelling) but as this is a home PC anyway this is not much of a problem. It is a very affordable computer for this specification an approximate price is £600 exc VAT ( £705 inc VAT).
This computer has a 10/100 network card so can be networked to another computer at home to share printers/ internet connection and files with the reqired hardware. This comes with a 17" CRT monitor which personally I would upgrade to a 17" TFT for comfort and space.
A good stable machine all internal parts well suited with no conflicts giving a peace of mind when working as so far mine has yet to fail.
I had a problem with the DVD Drive a few months after purchsing this machine I contacted Fujitsu -Seimens and they happily and Rapidly repaired this for me.
This runs simple tasks to complex games well. OS supplied (Windows XP) is a user friendly and highly customizeable OS with most compaability issues that arrose from is not being an MS-DOS based operating system is solved by running it in compatibility mode (basically programs not compatible with windows XP can still often be run in the compatibility mode.
Overall a good home system for simple work, gaming and other tasks.

Alternatives to this are systems such as Mesh Computer systems who for a simaler price as this will supply a simaler computer with a 3.0Ghz processor 512MB RAM 12MB Graphics and an Athlon Processor which for value and specifications give you a bit more power for your money and clock speed.
