Zoostorm 1-2302 Economy PC  [Computer Shopper]
COMPANY: PC Nextday PRICE: £335  inc VAT
RATING: ISSUE: 225  DATE: Nov 06
   

The Zoostorm 1-2302 Economy PC is powerful enough for most undemanding home and small office users and is the cheapest PC we've seen with a 17" LCD monitor.

The integrated graphics have only a D-sub output, so you can't upgrade to a monitor connected by DVI. The 17" AOC monitor has a resolution of 1,280x1,024, but it has only a basic tilt and no height adjustment.

The integrated S3 graphics aren't powerful enough for playing modern 3D games such as Doom 3 or Call of Duty 2. You can upgrade the graphics, but unusually there's an older AGP slot rather than a PCI Express slot.

The AGP slot might dissuade anyone who wants to play games, but otherwise this is amazing value. It is ideal as a second PC for a family.
