'cuse me?

QwE.
Anyone heard of them?
Anyone got a QwE mobo?
Any comments on how good they are?


Just that there's lots of computers going for ~£150-200 for ebay...
Identical to this:New Intel Dual Core 5.60 GHz Personal Computer+ XP Pro on eBay, also, Desktop PCs, Computing (end time 02-Mar-08 16:08:00 GMT)

Any comments on if this is value?
Any comments on anything else about this?

Lots of questions, and I'm not quite sure of ANY of the answers... or if this is the right forum for this topic :embarrassed:

With thanks,

Looks like a Foxconn motherboard.

Pentium Ds are old hat, so is only 1GB RAM.

The example you gave is a complete sham. It states the CPU as a Core 2 Duo and then on the detailed specs it's a Pent D 925. They couldn't be further apart. I'm not even going to mention the claimed clock speed....

CPU Intel Pentium D Dual Core 925 5.60 GHz 2X1MB LGA 775
Memory 1 1 GB DDR2 667MHz Memory (Major Brand)
Motherboard QwE SKT 775
Hard Drive 1 160GB 7200RPM 8MB Cache Serial ATA II (Major Brand)
Optical Drive 1 (Top-3-Brand) DVD RW +- Dual Layer Rewriter (Black)
Video Integrated VIA Intel 384mb Graphics
Audio Integrated VIA Realtek ALC653 AC'97 6-channel Audio
Network Card Onboard Network Card
Case Tower PC ATX Case (Black/Silver)
Power Supply ATX 400W Power Supply
Warranty 1 Year RTB Warranty, 7 Day Money Back Warranty

No I havnt heard of QwE, Plus what is with the "Major Brand"..Plus 5.6Ghz? I don't think I'd buy this, these guys dont even know what they are selling :O

PS: Googled QwE, found nothing but their own homepage, that not very good either..

It just means they buy the best value parts at any given time (eg what's cheapest). Scan sell 'major brand' memory (as do most companies), but that doesn't make them cowboys. It's just a pot of RAM at a certain spec, they dip their hand in and they sell what comes out.

You'd be stupid to buy the system, and their reputation is hardly solid, but there's nothing wrong with the use of 'major brand'. Just means you'd end up with a Seagate or Maxtor......

i think they are ment to say the cpu is 2.8ghz per core :P. I wouldnt buy from them, i just hate ebay for electronics as you never know what you getting and poof if it breaks your screwed.

Thank you... I was aware of most of the other stuff, but wasn't sure about QwE.

Wasn't planning on spending ~£150+P&P on eBay either, but thought that if the mobo was decent might be worth seeing if I could get one for ~£60...

Thanks for the comments...

oh - and btw - they were selling 6.0ghz versions two months ago... which was a Pentium D 3.0x2 CPU... two P4s stuck together....

I wouldnt buy from a seller that blantantly has absolutely no idea about what he is selling.

two P4s stuck together??:juggle:

It was. Just like the current quads are 2 Conroes/Wolfdales stuck together under the same heatspreader.

Oh okay, thanks gav, I didnt know that about the pentium D, two P4s stuck together? That doesnt sound good :P
