with the sterling as it is, it seems to be a good deal. £800 sterling


the other one i was looking at is dell believe it or not. i worked out a nice one, 2.25ghz dual core (intel p8400) 4gb ram, 250 7200rpm hd.... etc for €929.

theyre the best 2 i can find really... pricewise. id be happy with an asus i think, but id like the 17" screen too.. and dont really mind the extra weight.

any thoughts? any other sites i should look at, uk or irish... should i avoid Dell? u think these machine would be ok to install XP pro?

thanks in advance guys
