Excellent choice - buy this pc!
Review of Lenovo ThinkCentre A51 8424 - P4 530 3 GHz by a1townsend2002 taken from ciao.co.uk

Advantages very user fiendly and easy to put together
Disadvantages none very highly recommended

...The Thinkcentre is an excellent choice of pc if you are in the market to buy one at the moment. It was very easy to put together and assemble it comes with a great instruction book for those not very familiar or fond of gadgets in need of assembly. Very fast with lots of memory and compatible with nearly all types of software. It comes complete with Windows XP which is really user friendly and in my opinion the best package around at the moment and a great Graphics Media Accelerator which gives you perfect graphics, colours and in tune streaming while on the web which is great.The screen clarity is superb,it is very clear and the colours work perfectly. The sounds are crystal clear and if you watch movies on your pc it is like having your own cinema with superb surround sound at home which makes it sound as if you are really there... Read review

Self Build
Review of Lenovo ThinkCentre A51 8107 - P4 531 3 GHz by klingstin taken from ciao.co.uk

Advantages Manufacturers Guarantee
Disadvantages Limited hardware choice

...I have to say that Self Build is a lot better here as you can choose what you want within your budget. I built the following for £600 P4 3.2 GHz Extreme Hyper Threading CAD,2D and 3D gaphic compliant. 2Gb DDR PC3200 Memory expandable to 4Gb, on Dual Channel motherboard (equal to 6.5Gb access speed). 160 Gb SATA 150 Harddisk Drive 128 Mb DVI Graphic Card DvD Rom 52x52x52 !/2Mb read rate Floppy Disk Drive Case 400 Watt PSU,4x5.6 External access bays, 2x3.5 Floppy bays 3x3.5 internal, 2 front USB ports 1x speaker, 1x Mic Removeable side panels one with window. The nearest I can find on dell would cost between £800 to £1200 without monitor, keyboard and mouse. So if anyone out their can tell me of any other Company that can or could match what I've built I'd be interested to know. So don't be shy write a... Read review

Lenovo ThinkCentre
Review of Lenovo ThinkCentre A51 8109 - P4 524 3.06 GHz by ashiron2 taken from ciao.co.uk

Advantages good processor speed
Disadvantages bad memory and a little pricey

...This product is a good mid range pc it runs most applications as smoothly as is needed it will run most games except for the really high end games (such as crysis and such like), you can always buy a new graphics card. The only major problem is that the pricing is slightly too high but in general it is an excellent piece of equipment. My experience with it has been faultless and as such i have derived that it is a very reliable personal computer, i have still not got to the point where it needs a format and so it hasn't failed me yet. I would recommend this to everyone but real hardcore gamers (and even they could use it as an excellent secondary pc. The one other thing that could do with upgrading is the memory (RAM) to about 1024mb... Read review
