what do you guys think ? it's a demo model it has the option of vista for R200 more but i choose to go without it. it's from a big business so i don't intend to find any problems with it. it's going to be for my father-in-law as a business pc.
 
I would go onto the dell support website with the machines TAG number and check the original spec and the warranty status.

Hopefully it has CC which means even if you spill coffe on it and bugger it up they will repair it.

If you want, PM me the TAG number and i'll check it out for you.

Yeah sure, buy it and the motherboard breaks in 2 weeks. 5K for a new one.

Nice one;)

D630's 4 weeks old can be bought off Gumtree for 4500. I bought one recently for a mate and it runs like a charm.
