Brand New Zoostorm intel G1820 Dual Core Desktop PC, 320GB HDD, 2GB, Win 8.1, WiFi for £99!
Yes it's a weedy Celeron but it's a proper desktop Haswell based Celeron.
Yes it's measly 2GB ram and a tiny 320GB hard drive.
Yes it's Windows 8.1 and we all hate it, every single one of us.
BUT IT'S £99 brand new and a fully working ready to go desktop.
Zoostorm Ebay sales have loads of other desktops for around the £100 mark, some with more memory or CPU
Windows 8.1 can immediately consigned to the dustbin where it belongs by using the 'Assistive Technologies' free upgrade path with Windows 10 - so no need to hurt your eyes with nasty Windows 8.1. Ram can probably be upgraded cheaply to 4GB if needed. Chuck in a cheapo SSD and this will actually be a decent basic desktop.

Mods please don't delete this deal like you did a few weeks back, others have posted Zoostorm-Ebay deals and they've not been pulled. This is Zoostorm's ebay outlet store.

OK I Know it's a low powered, under specced desktop but it's brand new and ready to go. For not much effort you could bung in a some more ram or SSD if required. Yes it's a Celeron but it's a Haswell based Celeron so turns in a decent performance for the price.
Still on WIndows 7 or 8? - upgrade to Win10 for free using the assistive technology upgrade - nothing dodgy about doing this, it's a way for people to upgrade who might need more time, eg those that use assitive technology features of Windows like screen maginifer, high contrast screen settings etc (all standard stuff included with Windows)
Yeah they've got a decent selection of options. I posted the deal that was ready to go. there's even something at £95 but only one of those.

Anyone know what motherboard
Anyone know what motherboards are in these? I've got a socket 1155 i5 CPU already so just swapping that out will make a half decent system.

Heated for a good value budget system.
Putting in a small SSD for the OS and an extra 2GB RAM would make the system a lot more pleasant to use on a daily basis and could probably still be done while keeping the total spend under £150.
I believe you can still get a free Windows 10 upgrade for using assistive technologies (like magnifier etc) so potentially a seriously cheap Windows 10 box....

Yeah my thoughts entirely, if you got one of those £30 SSD's and a stick of ram for about £15 you'd have a fairly usable PC that would boot up nice and quick and be capable of playing HD videos etc

With Apple raising their prices by a considerable margin now must be the time to quickly buy a new pc.

Yes, I suspect other companies will do the same thing

That's only because of the exchange rate, it's temporary, the dollar will tank when Trump wins.

Great price. Chuck in another 2gb ram and for most stuff it'll be fine. An ssd is an absolute must nowadays, I can't go back to regular HD now as main OS drive.

Windows 10 uses 2gb of ram on it's own , so you would have to upgrade the ram straight away :disappointed:

My father's PC updated itself to Win10 and he only has 2GB ram and it works ok for light tasks, he's not complained about it. But I would agree with you and say the memory really needs to be 4GB ram regardless. But that's about £14 from Crucial memory or less for cheapo ram on ebay
