Brand New Zoostorm Ivy Bridge Dual Core Desktop 500GB HDD, 4GB RAM, DVD-RW, Win 8 - Zoostorm found more of these under their bed and are selling for £104.99 from their ebay outlet.
Edit CLICK HERE FOR DEAL ('Get Deal' takes you to the now sold out model) this version does not have wifi (the previous deal all sold out)
Yes it's an older generation Ivy Bridge Celeron 1037u dual core CPU. Awful.
Yes it's measly 4GB ram and a tiny 500GB hard drive. Pathetic.
Yes it's Windows 8.1 and we all hate it, yes every single normal person on the planet hates it, it's utter utter murder inducing crap.
BUT IT'S £104 brand new and a fully working ready to go desktop.
But luckily Windows 8 can immediately be consigned to the dustbin where it belongs and by using the 'Assistive Technologies' free upgrade path to Windows 10 is still available so you can elmininate another PC from having to endure Window 8 and get a legitimate Windows 10 computer, no puppies are killed in doing this Win10 upgrade - it's scientifically proven fact by ridding another PC of Windows 8 actually reduces green house gases or so a bloke in the pub told me. Chuck in a cheapo SSD and this will actually be a decent basic desktop.
Chuck in a cheapo SSD and it'll be fine for Aunt Mildred or your mother in law.

The Celeron 1037u is an OK budget cpu, don't let the name Celeron totally put you off.... I use one in a media PC with 4GB ram and a cheap SSD and it will play full HD video without killing the CPU. I'm fairly sure these CPU's are soldered to the motherboard so don't expect to upgrade the CPU.

I bought a reconditioned Pentium without OS a few weeks back, but it kept crashing with s blue screen of death. They were very good and gave me a refund without any bother.

Great price for a basic machine/specs. Could you buy the parts cheaper than this - I doubt it.

As usual it's old new stock that someone has found lurking in a storeroom. It won't set the world alight but for just over £100 it's a fully working licenced Windows computer. Hurrrah.
