Hi
Looking at a replacement for my Dell GX280 as it has been just stopping recently. After a bit of work on it, I suspect faulty mobo/capacitors (some are swollen which weren't previously).
I'm looking at this PC on trademe, as it's available locally (I could get it tonight) and want to put my "no TV" and declining WAF problems to rest! Wondering if anyone had any comments on the config (below).
The only thing I use it for is NZ Freeview over DVB-S, including the multi-record feature and it'd be a npvr server eventually as well. I might want to use it as a DVD player also in the future, but no plans to do this currently.
I would probably use my own graphics card and on sell the graphics card it comes with...
It could be mine for $305, I just don't want to get lumped with a dog because I don't have alot of experience with picking hardware. Appreciate any thoughts.
Thanks
julian.
