Is this one any good?

[DamienCBR]

Put this on SELOC and Av Forum so i thought i would ask the Pistonhead crowd.

Hi all,

Currnetly have a Dell 4300, 1.8 processor, 40gb HD and 384meg RAM, will be 7 years old in Jan so decided it is about time to get a new one, or rather it has now got so slow it is pissing me off.

I dont want to spend a lot of money and have a screen, keyboard and mouse. Saw this and thought it looked pretty good value.

Any thoughts, what would you change on this one or any recommendations.

It will be used for the following:

Email
Internet
Word
Excel
Powerpoint
Photos
Poss Videao Editing (got a camera)
Currently use Microsofot Picture It
Downloading and listening to music and films (Legally)

The usual really, not a big gamer, got the PS3 for that. Essentially i thought it looked like a good spec PC that would last me a few years at a good price.

Cheers
