    Was thinking that myself. It was a mate that sent me it that works at quite a high level in IT and he says it's totally legit, no hidden catches.

    Says it's a high spec too.

    i find this amusing:

    "1) On screen advertising: In exchange for your free PC, you must accept up to 3 minutes of on-screen advertising per hour of PC use. Every month, you will receive a cd containing adverts to be shown over the following four weeks. Each disc must be loaded onto your PC for the system to update. Should you fail to do this, your PC will be disabled"

    how the hell will they be able to disable your pc?

    Another thing....you have to watch at least 3 mins of adverts per hour for a minimum of 30 hours a month over three years.....

    thats a minimum of 3240 minutes of adverts, which is 54 hours.......just over 2 or so days worth. not bad for a free pc for three years, when they will give you a new one after!
