New computer?

[spudtater]

Am looking at this computer. Happy fun good price, and with a DVD-RW as well!
Not sure about the motherboard, though. It has on-board audio and video chipsets, and I'm not sure it will work well under linux. Video is an SiS 741, which will work according to the hardware HOWTO. Audio is a bit of a "mystery card" melarkey, though; all it says is that it is "AC '97 compliant", which doesn't sound very specific. Hrrrmmmmm...

Yes, but it comes bundled with windows.

Try the dell factory outlet as well.

I've also heard good things about newegg, unlike ebuyer.

No luck with Dell; they're ridiculously overpriced.
And newegg don't (yet) have a uk site, so no luck there.
