Dell Hybrid Studio

[PuntoGt031087]

What are peoples thoughts on these? There are some for sale on ebay for 325quid, with 3 year warranty.
Spec isn't fantastic but should be more than enough for me as i only use it for the net and downloading the odd song or film.
The main attraction is the look/size as it'll be in my living room next to my ps3 wired up to my hd tv.

Any thoughts, ideas or better options ?

havnt seen it yet mate so cant reli comment but my advice to most is build your own, you can get SO much nowadays for very little cash

for example, for just 400 notes you can get a quad-core processor, 4gb RAM, 500gb hdd, and a decent graphics card with HDMI output!!

happy times

I don't agree. If you ust want a bog standard PC buying off the shelf is the way to go.

The Dell Studio line is pretty good. Nice design and good quality.

The problem with hooking it up to your TV is the graphics card might be under powered.

Which is another reason to go custom

3 Year warranty though. You only get a year at most with a custom built PC.

Well the only visual output on them is a hdmi connector so surely it should be able to support it.

I would post the ebay link up if i could copy and paste, amd as chris said, i dont want a big ugly pc, needs to be small neat and tidy

Oh in that case should be good to go.

I've seen the PCs before but don't remember them having HDMI. But that's all good.

Cheers guys, think i'm going to order one, mind was pretty much made up but always nice to have a second opinion

got my Dell Hybrid Studio yesterday and im more than impressed with it. The spec (2GB RAM, 2.00GHZ PROCESSOR) isn't perfect but has caused no running issues, uns quickly and perfectly.

Bit of a nightmare wiring to the t.v. though, the PC didnt automatically reset the resolution to work on the t.v., so had to use an old monitor and manually configure everything

And its absolutely tiny and looks absolutely stunning. Would definately recommend one, great PC for its size
