The main specifications of this barebones are: -

# Intel Celeron E3200 2.4Ghz
# 2Gb 240Pin DDR2 800Mhz
# ATX Tower Case With 400w PSU
# Intel G31 + ICH7 Motherboard

This is a very hot deal as at this moment in time - it's actually more expensive to buy the parts separately and put them together yourself. This comes prebuilt (obviously without hard drive/DVD drive etc.) and comes to about £20 cheaper than buying everything separately.

Nothing special, very low end parts for a lowend price.

If you need a system just for internet, msn, icq, yahoo messenger, writing its ok. For gaming, leave it in the shop! It is seriously slow.

edit:
note: i can built this system with parts individually purchased with the advantage i KNOW which cheap parts have been used.

You could have a much better spec for just a little bit more

That system is complete garbage, even for browsing the internet or IM. Don't touch such crappy systems. Celeron...who the hell would buy that? Celeron is garbage.

You can say that about every price point/spec for computers. You can always spend a little bit more and have a better spec. At least until you get to midrange specs.

To the OP. You do realise that Novatechs barebones machines come without hard drives, DVD drives, graphics, (unless on the mobo), or OS right? Once you've added all that up you're better off going for one of their base machines eg:

Celerons are perfectly adequate for machines for browsing the internet, emails and office apps. If that is ALL you need a computer for, you're wasting your money buying anything better. In fact they are overspec'd for such basic computing, hence the rise of the netbook.
