Graphics will be total pants and audio is built onto the motherboard. You say you'd probably buy another GFX card so you have to add this onto the price you will be paying. For something semi decent you are easily talking another £100 (144 euros)

The case looks awful in my opinion as well!

The base price of 599 euros = £419 = $776

Personally, I really don't think it's worth the money being asked. BTW, the same computer is selling for £399 (575 Euros) from Lidl in the UK. Dunno why it's cheaper though?

Yeah ... the AMD Spermon (ask VS) is a sawn off Athlon .... not as good as the AthlonXP and way below the Athlon64.
Spend another £100 and get either an AthlonXP or P4.

This isn't a bad deal .... I've used these people b4 .... not sure about shipping to Ireland though :

Better DVD Burner, mobo & graphics and easy to upgrade too....standard case.
Note this doesn't include an OS .... if u need XP they will install Home or Pro for you for £75 or £100 I think

If you are looking to buy a ready built standard machine, I would also suggest you take a look at Dell - they have an outlet in ROI.
