Im about to buy this desktop pc
anyone got anything to say about it and also, im not sure if it comes with a mouse dock? can anyone clear this up for me.
Also, should i take the free upgrade to vista or not? is it still too buggy?

it's free, why not? see if it ships with XP, and just have the option to upgrade

The processor could be better. I think they are charging more based on the amount of space on the hard drive. Don't be fooled, get a smaller hard drive and a better processor, it will probably be cheaper. Intel Duo Core is the processor of the moment, I would suggest that. 320GB is way too big, you will never use that much space :P

Edit: the accessories e.g. TV Tuner etc are great value. Get it!
