Hi All,

CPC are offering a Linux PC for Â99 + VAT.
Model
number SB 046 9141.
No keyboard or mouse, but what do you
expect at this price.

Has anyone bought one/thinking of
buying one?
Comments please.

If it's this:

  
http://cpc.farnell.com/acer/pt-nbzec-004/pc-sff-acer-emachines-er1401/dp/SB0469141?Ntt=SB0469141

then it appears to be no-longer stocked.

However Â99 +VAT for that is about the going rate. Is it a good PC? Depends on what you want - it's not the fastest and it comes with Linpus Lite which the first thing you'll want to do is remove and install something decent. It *might* be good as a media PC / set-top box type of thing if it can play HD movies via your TV (it has HDMI)
