computer- £100? advice??

[beau]

hello all,

well my laptop is slowly breaking and is soon going to cost me another £200 to repair, and will still be running utter ****e- tried all antivirus stuff, and deleted the virus's but still running bad. i think my cheap laptop was for occasional use lol, not full use.

so point of this thread, is i want a real working computer? i want to spend about £100 on one (main unit only, il snatch screen from mums work and i have mouse and keyboard)

what would you do? buy one from ebay all together? or could i basicly make one? i dont mind not having one for few months, (my laptop might just last a little longer......), i would rather build one because then i can spend smaller amount at a time....

all advice welcome please

Spotted this earlier

Bet total price will be over £100 though

So you want a desktop for £100 all in? Purely for surfing on?

I could spec you one, be more than 100 quid though. All new though.

has it got to be super fast?

 

[beau]

thats nice stu but some how i think it will go over £100, lol.

and yes i only have £100, i dont have it yet, im just starting to look so then i can get the money.

You wont get a good pc for 100 quid, it will probably run worse than your laptop

 

[serin]

lol, im spending 80 quid just on my case

You a funny man hmallett, you make me laugh dude

Trouble is, H isn't joking - that is his PC, with his kid playing with Dora

 

[custard]

check your local pc repair places for refurbs. postage alone will hit a chunk off your £100

 

[beau]

i just want it to run good, lol.

errmm spec? hmmmmm, i duno if its not better than my laptop then it'll probably be crapo.

512mb ram
20gb hard drive
celeron processor 2.60ghz

errrmmm main points there?

would i be better building a pc? i could spend like £20 a week on it and after few months then surely my laptop will go and il have a decent pc?

 

[Stu DemonD]

20Gb HDD - they still make them? :chin:

EDIT - ah yes http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?rb=15590315843&action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=52784 what a waste of money

Yeah, £100 doesn't get you much in PC land, I budgeted for £500 and ended up spending £800!

My comp was built for £200 originally....

The fact i spent another £100 getting another cd/dvd drive and more memory is another matter however

 

[dave]

2.60ghz thats a lot for just surfing mine only got a little 1.2 athlon in it.
i was thinking that one of my cupboard ones would do but they only old amd 500 things

yea, but to you, anything under 300Gb is small

 

[Stu DemonD]

Now't wrong with having 700Gb of storage
