The Thinkcentre is an excellent choice of pc if you are in the market to buy one at the moment. It was very easy to put together and assemble it comes with a great instruction book for those not very familiar or fond of gadgets in need of assembly. Very fast with lots of memory and compatible with nearly all types of software. It comes complete with Windows XP which is really user friendly and in my opinion the best package around at the moment and a great Graphics Media Accelerator which gives you perfect graphics, colours and in tune streaming while on the web which is great.The screen clarity is superb,it is very clear and the colours work perfectly. The sounds are crystal clear and if you watch movies on your pc it is like having your own cinema with superb surround sound at home which makes it sound as if you are really there yourself, I like to turn out the lights, throw in a dvd and sit down and enjoy the whole experience. If you are into new technology like I am you will be pleasantly suprised when you see that the Thinkcentre has 8 USB ports (yes 8!) so you can hook up absolutley everything you have such as webcam,printer,scanner,copier,mouse,connection,camera all at once without having to keep chopping and changing and still have some spare ports for any new gadgets you might buy!. If you like to make your own CD's it come's complete with it's own CDRW which I use all the time to make up CD's of my favourite songs for the car, the software is also very straight forward and user friendly. What particularly impressed me was the slimline design of this package especially the tower, it is ultra trendy looking and more importantly it will not take up much room at all like the older bulkier versions. Very stylish shape and colour and design all make it a very eye catching prospect as well as matching that in the quality department, buy this pc if you are looking for one you will not regret it I guarantee it! This comes highly recommended it is very up to date and very cost effective so it is great value for the money.
Advantages: good processor speed Disadvantages: bad memory and a little pricey
This product is a good mid range pc it runs most applications as smoothly as is needed it will run most games except for the really high end games (such as crysis and such like), you can always buy a new graphics card. The only major problem is that the pricing is slightly too high but in general it is an excellent piece of equipment. My experience with it has been faultless and as such i have derived that it is a very reliable personal computer, ...

I have to say that Self Build is a lot better here as you can choose what you want within your budget.
I built the following for £600
P4 3.2 GHz Extreme Hyper Threading CAD,2D and 3D gaphic compliant.
2Gb DDR PC3200 Memory expandable to 4Gb, on Dual Channel motherboard (equal to 6.5Gb access speed).
160 Gb SATA 150 Harddisk Drive
128 Mb DVI Graphic Card
DvD Rom 52x52x52
!/2Mb read rate Floppy Disk Drive
Case 400 Watt PSU,4x5.6 External access ... ...1x speaker, 1x Mic Removeable side panels one with window.
The nearest I can find on dell would cost between £800 to £1200 without monitor, keyboard and mouse.
So if anyone out their can tell me of any other Company that can or could match what I've built I'd be interested to know. So don't be shy write a review. It dosn't take long at all, even with two finger typing like me. ...
