Computer Shopper Competition (Issue 246)


Expires: 6 Aug 08

This month we're giving you the chance to win a Fujitsu ScanSnap S300, a Traxdata MultiMedia Drive, Microsoft Expression Studio, and many more prizes.

A dual-core PC from Ginger6

www.ginger6.com

When you get a new PC you're ideally looking for one that can handle any task you throw at it. Fortunately, you don't have to decide on the specifications to buy, as Ginger6 is giving away one PC with the perfect balance already chosen.

The GeForce 8800GT graphics card can handle the latest games, with fluid frame rates and detailed effects. With the 19in widescreen monitor, this PC is superb if you want the best from games.

When you turn your eye to work, there's plenty to like. An Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 processor and 4GB of RAM provide great performance in even the most demanding applications. The huge 500GB hard disk gives you more than enough room for the largest of media collections.

With Ginger6 optimising the computer's performance for the best experience, this is one PC that you can rely on. We have one PC and monitor to give away.

Worth £699
