Ebuyer displays that trade-in is available on this PC, but when I checked the HP trade-in site it only shows the following desktop:

Prodesk 400 400 G3 SFF - W4A22EA - 01/07/2016 – 31/07/2016

This is a totally different model as it is the SFF model on this PC. If you are going to buy, check with HP if you will give you the trade-in with this PC. Trade in is only £100, not £125 if you spend between £200 - £349

I think Ebuyer has got outdated information on their website, this PC was in the Trade-in for June purchases, but not July purchases.

How does that trade-in work? I have an old PC I built myself back in 2011, with parts from various places. How does that make me eligible for a £125 saving?

For your Trade-in to qualify for the promotion it must be a working, complete and undamaged, (reasonable wear and tear accepted) Laptop (minimum 10” screen size), Tablet (minimum 9” screen size) or Desktop. Your Trade-in must be no more than 6 years old (age limitations are not applicable to genuine Microsoft XP computers) and complete with all accessories including working battery and power supply where applicable.

Okay, thank you - that means my ancient (but <6 years) HTPC would qualify, hmmm... tempting! :smiley:

Looking at what PSU it comes with, the specs say:

Power Supply
180 W, up to 85% efficient, active PFC
300 W, up to 85% efficient, active PFC

So it's a gamble which one they've thrown into it? :disappointed:

Looks like you are right, the above one was in the cashback for June but not July, the cashback values have not changed though so I don't see where they got the £125 from (unless it was £350 plus in June).

Damn !! I got a dinosaur pc but I'm out by about 10 million years :disappointed: heat added though.

barring compatibility issues, would this be OK as a base from which to upgrade? thanks!

Depends on what your purposes and budget are; pop in a gpu and it'll handle medium-level gaming on low res settings; more ram and it'll be an adequate workhorse; an ssd and it'll be a nifty htpc. Def good value if you're trading in and don't have high requirements.

Including some parametric filters and taking the minimum amount of time, not including mouse + keyboard, this is the best I could come up with:

Conclusion: this is a good->great deal without the rebate. They're probably got some much cheaper than £50 combination of case + psu, but even that isn't enough to justify the discount.

​did dinosaurs have pc's? never taught that at my school, but it was evolutionist..

they did, but needed specially-adapted keyboards as their arms were so short. and another dinosaur to vibrate the keyboards, as they couldn't see them unless they were moving.

wouldn't wanna be paying £114 for windows 7 though!!

No, the T&C's also states this model:

Prodesk 400 G3 - V7R17ES - 01/07/2016 – 31/07/2016

Is this not for businesses only? Ie joe public can't take advantage?

Isn't this a G3 MT model as in Junes list?

It was probably an error. QuickFind: 726421 Mfr part code: P5K01EA#ABU
This model is not included in the trade-in models for July 2016
