We have just finished refurbishing a Compaq Presario PC and it's a great buy for someone looking for a second PC for practically everything except serious gaming. We've upgraded the memory, reinstalled Windows XP Home with all Microsoft service packs and updates, and installed a range of software that more than meets the needs of a home PC. Details are as follows:
Hardware:
Pentium P4 1.8GHz CPU
512MB RAM
60GB HDD
DVD ROM Drive
CD-R Drive
Floppy Drive
6 x USB 1.0
Firewire Port
10/100 ethernet port
modem
Software:
Windows XP Home Edition, Service Pack 2, fully patched
AVG Free 7.5 anti-virus
Windows Defender anti-spyware
Internet Explorer 7.0
Firefox 2.0 (alternative internet browser to IE 7.0)
Thunderbird 1.5 (alternative e-mail client to Outlook Express)
Microsoft Word
Microsoft Works
Serif PhotoPlus 6.0 (photo management)
Compaq WinDVD (DVD player)
Skype 3.0
Windows Media Player 11
Paragon Drive Backup 8.0 (backup software)
Hardware comes with a 90-day no quibble warranty (if it breaks, we fix it, replace it or fully refund you, no problem).
This is a great package that has a very attractive price of only €220. Add a keyboard, mouse and monitor (or ask us to quote you for them) and you have a very nice home PC that will take on any home PC task.
