Intel Core i5 4670k Haswell | Asus Z87-K | 16gb Corsair DDR3 Vengeance | Gigabyte GTX 1060 6GB OC | Crucial M500 120gb SSD (OS), Crucial M500 250gb SSD, 2TB & 1TB Sata's | Corsair Carbide 200r | LG 27" LED | Corsair CX750M | Corsair h80i
was wondering about those too, but its been delisted yesterday.
hope they can source some more gems like that
Sorry guys, the E2140 OEM is now end of life and as such is no longer going to be stocked I'm afraid.
Best Regards,
The retail version is on offer at the moment - although obviously a few quids more.

Is there a noticeable difference between one of these and a Celeron D331?

A world of difference!
Even the Cel420 would kick the 331 into the dust (My 420 is good for 2.8GHz+ OC).
What board/ram etc are you going to be using?
Oh and what will be the main uses?
Is an ASrock ConRoe945G-DVI with 2 x 512mb DDR2 and an X1800XL + 160gb Sata hard drive.
Main uses are going to be internet and homework (hopefully lol) but have stuck the X1800 card in there so she can play games too (Sims 2 / Viva Pinata)
The rest of the bits have turned up from Scan today but with the 2140 being so cheap I wondered if it was worth spending an extra £40 on one before I put the system together.

well it'll suport it no problems, I'd say that yes it's worth the £41 (shame about no more oem's)
If the 331 CPU doesnt get too warm you can OC it. I got 3.3GHz+ out of the 2.8 CelD CPU 336, but the heat might be a bit of a problem.
If you have the original Intel fan they come off very easily so you can replace the CPU anytime without too much effort if the current one proves too slow.
Dont know how far you want to go... I mean it is and it isnt worth it! Its more power and less heat.
But is it needed to open IE and powerpoint?! Then you think a little more capable board and a 50% OC, then faster RAM, where does it all end
Stick with it, see how it goes, get her one for an xmas present if its too slow
