You haven't said what you need the PC for so it is a little difficult to make a distinction.

its for backing up xbox360 games and flashing my 360 downloading via bit torrent and converting avi to dvd thats all really

[BertRoot]

Not sure if the SATA controller is right for flashing 360s, someone else will be able to help you out there, but the box seems adequate to do everything else you want to. I had a few issues with my Pioneer 106 when I had it as it was a bit pinnickity with some forms of media.

[bobo06]

so what do you think is it worth the price tag

[BertRoot]

No I don't. I would personally have a look at Dell for something brand new. If you frig about with options on some of the systems you should be able to get something a little more future proff and with a lot newer components. Have a look here for some options.

[blacksheep]

nope, wouldn't pay more than £200 for that really and as bert says for another £40-50 you can get a dell system, with better cpu, more ram and a 19" monitor.

Way to much money
