| 610532 | 2007-11-12 03:09:00 | I see Dell are selling a slim tower desktop aimed at small businesses (Vostro brand) with a celeron 420, Windows XP, 1GB RAM, DVDROM, 80GB HDD, 17" Flat panel and integrated graphics for $798 including delivery. They have a laptop for the same price. I don't know if they'd supply the desktop without a screen, but they might be $50+ cheaper if they came with Linux rather than Windows... Disclaimer: This is an observation, not an endorsement! A mate just got two of those for his work, he downgraded the monitors to 17inch for -$50 each. Great for what his work needs. We couldn't see an option for linux or no OS when we ordered them, we thought that might be a US option only |
