Do we have a new HW shop ?

If i counted correctly the price looks very OK.

mjah, not bad....

however, until they start selling prometeiae, I ain't no macrofan

looks too expensive for what is in it.

Make a sum with comtech prices (cooler incl).
It's an aluminium case with front ports, 450w psu, ... DVD-R/RW ... everything = ASUS = quality.

What i really ment is that:
a) if you make the sum of the pieces you have a comtech-priced pc ... cool ... for a non-hw-shop
b) normally the standard pc's (packard-dell-compaq) are a ripoff because -with the same budget- you can easily built a much better machine. It will be hard to improve this one.
c) with those prebuilds you always have to make some kinda compromise ... note with this one though.

in that aspect, it sure does kick the *** of any CarreFour/Aldi pc :)

dunno, the latest Aldi pc was cheaper and was +/- equally equiped, correction even a nicer case: stealthmodded dvd & cdrw

do you have any details on this beatybeast?

Specs Macro:

512Mb DDR PC3200 !
120gb HD
Asus! Ti4600 (tv-in/tv-out)
Wireless LAN + 2 attennes (Calantak's ideal PC it seems :p)
450W PSU!

no monitor ?!

2099 euro.

indeed, there's a diffence ti4200-ti4600 and the aldi pc has less ram (256mb pc 2700 samsung). Let's call the aldi pc a "sandwich with cheese" and the makro pc a "a sandwich with cheese and pickles" :D

I have to admit: VERY impressive price !

crappy sound vs 6-channel sound
256MB ram vs 512
pc2700 vs pc3200
no floppy
PIV 2.66 vs XP2600
4200 vs 4600
no name vs asus
case = BUTT-UGLY
...

OK, it's cheap ... but i'm already making compromises

irl the case is really nice, but hey, question of taste...

soundcard is the same, every component is branded (samsung, sony, siemens, microstar....)

btw JMke price was 1299€, your looking at the wrong one...

you don't understand

the XP2600+ fold's twice as fast as the P4 2.66,
that's why Bosw8er noticed it :)

oh, you are looking at it folding wise. Well, what are we waiting for then?

yep, the P4 just doesn't mind his "office-PC" needs :p

A pitty there isn't an nforce and 2*256mb inside.

RichBastard,

why is that a pitty?
I don't think any of us will ever buy a PC from these stores, unless if it's for someone else, who wants the cheapest there is

JMke:D

and doesn't need the wireless-**** ?
