Mark, here is some brief wording I have found on the PC for your info and some more detailed specs below. I have amended them to reflect what you'd actually receive. I originally paid £780 for the PC, £130 for the monitor, and £160 for the speakers, so it's a bargain for £550 Cutting-edge technology and innovative functionality let you enjoy a fully integrated multimedia environment, while the stylish design of the Aspire iDea 510 blends perfectly into your modern living space. a..
