Hi Cookie, please don't post in all capitals - it makes it really hard to read!

I am taking delivery of a Dell 8300 system later this week for my girlfriend, so I will be able to let know what it is like then - as it will be very similar.

Dell have some exceptional offers on sometimes for a pre-built PC, the one I ordered was about £400 inc delivery for a 2.6Ghz P4, 512 Ram, DVD/CDRW, 128Meg FX5200, 80Gig HD, Windows XP Home and a 17" CRT monitor.

The offer you have posted above looks reasonable, but if you look out for some coupons on the internet you can really bring the price down. I was lucky and got a one off deal from the Dell Outlet website, where there are some bargains.
