I knew that computer was shitty - but a 2.0 mhz (should be 2.0 Ghz) P4 Celeron Processor? That's like as bad as it gets! Oh - and the header says "Enter to win this great Peachtron Computer System" ........:lol: :lol: :lol:
* .blade// wonders why there is what appears to be a large dent in the tower :refuck:

Also: madman notice that the tower they show has no drives in it....:lol:

RE: Somebody made a booboo... by Plik on 09-30-2004 at 07:39 PM

Also unless the drives are stelthed, its got no "DVD/CDRW Combo drive" or a "Panasonic 1.44Mb Floppy drive":dodgy:

RE: Somebody made a booboo... by .blade// on 09-30-2004 at 07:43 PM

Actually - it says "DVD/CDRW" Combo Drive

RE: Somebody made a booboo... by bmtaylor on 09-30-2004 at 07:58 PM

If you check the case it has no drive fronts showing at all.  They've got an empty case for the pictures and neglected to add the external drives.

And a 2.0 MHZ.  Damn, my AMD 500 MHZ knocks spots off of this then!

Ya by getting a new motherboard. Unless your socket on your motherboard supports celerons, and supports 2GHz

Blade go for it. That is a once in a life time chance to win a dream computer

And think with a 2.0Mhz Celeron which is a P4 as well. You'll be able to play Halo with no problems
[/more sarcasm]
Hmm do you rekon their bright enuf to install a head sink on that high performance equipment :dodgy:

* .blade// realises that the ad doesn't actually say that the computer is new, or even works :lol:
* .blade// thinks the PC has no BIOS, mother board, NIC, video card, power box or power chord as they are not mentioned...:lol:

And why not? Each Pentium-class has also Celerons. As well as you have/had PII Celerons and PIII Celerons, you also have a P4 Celeron....

Intel's P4 Celeron is a "crippled" version of the .18 micron P4 core that works with 478-pin architecture. It runs at higher clock speeds compared to Pentium III Celerons, but has standard 128 KB of L2 cache compared to the 512 KB of the newest Pentium 4. However, the 400 MHz bus speed really helps it out compared to earlier Celerons.

They can even be faster...
The Intel Pentium P4 Celeron 2.8 Ghz for example

bmtaylor said it quite nicely. It is just a photograph of an empty case. I can give you thousands of ad-scans like that (or where the picture doesn't represent 100% the actual product)





sorry guys  :p

Why would they use an empty case? :-/ They should have a real PC if they're giving them away... ^o) Do they take everything out of the case before photography? 8-)
