Note to self - subscribing to threads would be useful! Runs sweet on a 32" Samsung LCD mate, grafix card has HDMI out as well, so i connect it through that way. Dunno if it makes any difference but the detail is splendid, i guess it gives me an advantage a bit, particularly on sniping maps. I was a bit worried at first as i tend to shove my face almost onto the screen when playing, currently sat about 4ft from the monitor typing this so you can see my point! If i get too close, it feels like my eyeballs are spreading out toward the sides of my head! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'll be shocked at the bottom lines generated, frankly. When I was faced with replacing my PC earlier this year, I did so, and even compromising heavily on the initial spec that I input could not get the price below £1000! Then I visited www.medionshop.co.uk and browsed what Medion was offering. They'd picked up an award for best brand from PC Advisor magazine to add to their already impressive reputation. Visiting Aldi is hit and miss because they do not stock Medion machines continually and usually get small numbers of PCs in on release that are sold the same morning. No, Medion do not sell super fast gaming rigs or fit the very latest graphics cards but if one is on a restricted budget, they are worth a look. I bought an 'Erazer' gaming system with which I am pleased, by the way. (If it's relevant, I have built/refurbed systems at home in the past but found the practice uneconomic, though it was great fun putting everything together myself.)

Hey dude, I agree that aldi is hit and miss with stock and that they aren't fab gaming rigs, but you do get a lot of bang for your buck and i have had no problems with medion stuff, aftersales is great and most items have a 3 year warranty which if you boughtfrom pc world is gonna cost a fuckin fortune. Never built one from scratch but think i could. I prefer to start with a pretty good system and upgrade it myself. This was an old thread that i just happened to come across so the link/offer is way out of date. Still thinkin about a new one though, hearing good things about the i5, i7 chips but don't know how they'll compare to mine, Intel Quadcore Q6600 4gb. Plenty of life in the old dog yet, and with win7 on it does most of the things i want at the same time - i can happily rip and burn a dvd while playing music, moving files and playing COD2.
