The price may be £300, but the specs reflect that! For just £100 more i can build:

AMD Athalon 64 3000
1GB Ram
160Gb Hard Disk
17inch TFT LCD 1280x1026 Native
Windows XP Home SP2

Now, why would i spend £100 less to get something that is worth £200 less?

Celerons are only good if you plan to write documents while surfing the web.

It wont handle games well, or anything else!
