£45 SFF barebone debuts in UK

SCAN, not Ebay, has the cheapest SFF in UK, or in the world. They are basically throwing that stock by the window. At £45+VAT, you can't get cheaper than that Epox CF-S768 ecube Aluminium barebone PC. You get a SIS 740 based ATX mobo with Integrated video, Firewire, LAN and Audio but no way of upgrading its graphics. Even then, you might get yourself a very cheap SFF for less than £100.

But that's not all, they are offering a £15 discount on that 20GB Archos G Mini XS200 MP3 player. Smaller than a box of cigarette, it features a large 128x128 pixels 2-inch LCD display and even comes with a line out jack. Compatible with MP3 and WMA, it will be the ideal gadget to move around. Beats a USB disk drive a long way when moving stuffs around.

XTsit sends me news that they are the cheapest when it comes to the Geforce 7800GTX in UK. At £280+VAT for the Leadtek Winfast PX 7800GTX, with VIVO and 256MB memory, we can't really argue. Two DVIs and one HDTV port makes it quite a secure bet for the future. When prices decrease in a - near - future, you'll even be able to add another. XTsit also claims to hold the cheapest Athlon X2 4200 dual core CPU in UK at £270.12+VAT. Add in another £24 and you will get the 4400+, a better deal.

Dell sells the Dimension 9100 computer with a 24-inch TFT monitor for only $1199. A Pentium 4 630 with HT technolgy, 512MB DDR2 SDRAM, Windows XP Home, a 40GB HDD, a CDROM and a 128MB PCIe x16 ATI Radeon X300SE HM with DVI, VGA and TVO. The screen though is what sets it apart. At $909 retail, the Dell UltraSharp 2405FPW Widescreen Digital Flat Panel is a real winner. µ
