I've been trawling around ebay UK a bit recently and although I'm a MAC man myself I cant help be amazed at the prices of some "new" wintel computers. For example there is one on sale, with a 3.2GZ P4 load of memory etc etc. for under £300. And there are loads of similar ones its like a cottage industry.
Now fair enough there is no O/S or moniter but the processor alone must be almost £200.
So how do they do it? Have PC's become so easy to plug together that any tom dick or harry with a mate in Singapore to post over some bits can put them together in their bedroom? If so why do people still buy from the likes of Dell?
So can someone who knows more about PC's enlighten me.
still they are darn ugly
