Argos clearance on e-bay with Blue ray.

Don't know if this would be of interest to anyone here.Wouldn't mind an opinion on it though, as don't know much about quad core and cpu speeds with them. looks as if Argos is using E-Bay to offload stuff.

Personally I don't rate Acer kit.. but that's MHO.
If you're planning on using this in an HTPC setup be aware of how noisy the machine will be - I'm no expert on this particular model but judging by the relatively small size and what appears to be a big vent on the top, this machine might make quite a lot of fan noise.

Thanks.Have no plans to buy at the moment.Thought it might interest someone here.And the fact Argos are using e-bay as an outlet for it,s goods.What I don't understand is the cpu speeds with multiple core cpu system.For instance the PC in this thread is a quad core 9100e cpu with a clock speed of 1.8GHz.Does this mean it's a 4 cpu chip with each core running at 1.8GH so it's no faster than say a single 1.8 cpu running at 1.8GHz when running a single task.
