You have the link!

I know, and I thank you. Nowt has been decided upon, as me 'ed is currently swimming, and I've just had an unholy row with Mrs Growler about a flamin' turkey for crimbo....all because i said it's a bit sad to think that it will currently be running around the farm without a  care in the world.
We ended up discussing lentils and hugging trees ffs!

I BLOODY HATE CRIMBO. Official! cussing:

A sodden Mrs Growler has just returned, armed with a piece of paper from nice Mr independent computer man in Chester...apparently, so she says. confused:

Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Li 2727, 2 of, with wireless router thingy, all supplied and fitted by himself for £768, less a bit of dissy for purchasing two. Probably means a tenner then ey? ::)

How's that sound, cus I have no idea. Don't understand all these technical specs tbh, and nor does Nick apparently. That makes me feel marginally 'not alone' then.
Get him to install and configure a wireless router too and you'll be all sorted won't you...?  happy088

Argos sell them at £293.61 each. I note that they only have 1GB RAM, even for Vista Home Basic I'd want 2GB.

Still 2 x £293.61 plus a modem router at about £60 then he's charging about £100 installation ~ not bad.
And Growler could pester him when it all goes tits up instead of us!  cloud9:

You serious or being sarcastic? I really don't know. noooo:

£384 for the pair all up and running. Could save a great deal of mither and heartache.
Can the memorys be increased easily enough from 1 to 2 GB's? Just a matter of slotting a new board in or summat isn't it...for a price obviously. ::)

He should be able to upgrade the memory quite cheaply...

Don't let him sell you a load of old expensive virus software tho...  noooo:

Given that you admit to being a numptie you are prolly better off buying from somebody that can set it all up and support you than buying the cheapest deal on t'intermong and relying on us lot of reprobates to help you...  whistle:

Serious. You're paying for his time and expertise, plus he's sourcing and supplying everything you need.

Also if it ever all goes wrong he will be available to fix it. You can't put a price on that.
