The Glitch was conceived
during 2004, and started out simply as a site to
assist people with computer problems. Today the site
has grown considerably and has become a one-stop
shop for many aspects of modern computing and
communication
DESKTOP OFFERS
This page has a number
of Desktop offers, I try to find the best deals
within a group of well know and trusted manufactures
and suppliers. There are cheaper desktops out there,
but their performance is often poor and their
suppliers less than helpful. The following items
have been hand picked for their combination of make,
specification and value.
| Component
Ratings Key |
 |
Excellent - A
performance component that will work well no
matter what you throw at it |
 |
Good - This is
a good component which should perform well
under heavy work loads |
 |
OK - Still a good everyday component, but
it might
slow with more demanding tasks |
 |
Poor - This
component may under-perform under normal
usage |
INFORMATION
Your minimum processor should be Intel Core 2 Duo
Minimum of 1GB of memory, 2GB is desirable
Systems with ATI or Nvidia based graphics are always better
If you purchase a Dell System and intend to
upgrade the graphics at some point:
check the system has a full 16x PCI-E Interface and
