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.
