The Aldi Medion 8083 pc - worth a pop at £749?
Alan
having treated myself to anything more than a hard drive and memory in about
the last 5 years, my 650Mhz Duron is getting a bit long in the tooth. This
is a seriously tempting bit of kit....finding info about it is a bit of a
challenge, so here's basically all I could find about it on the net...
http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=14927
"You will get a 3GHz P4 800 FSB chip but, we are quite confident, not a
Prescott one; an 8X multi-standard DVD/CD recorder, 16X DVD reader, an
ATI-powered 9800 XXL card with 128 MB of Ram; 512 MB of Samsung memory, a
huge 200GB Seagate disk, stereo TV tuner, remote, 8 in 1 card reader and
802,11g 54 M bit W LAN." (etc etc)
Here's what Computer Active thought of the lower spec Medion 8080 when it
went on
sale for £100 more in November 2003:
http://www.computeractive.co.uk/Products/Hardware/1151813
Here's the spec (in Dutch, but you should be able to work it out!)
http://www.aldi.nl/OFFER_NL/OFFER_13/OFF01_T.HTM
http://www.aldi.nl/OFFER_NL/OFFER_13/COMP.JPG
Which is the ONLY full detail I can get on this thing. Someone gave me a
flyer, but of course I lost it!
Here's a cheesy video about it, in a version for either dialup or broadband
http://download.medion.de/medion/united_kingdom/MD8083kle.mpg - 2Mb

Yeah, it's an absolute bargain for the money. All the parts used are
quality componants, and with a three year on-site warranty you can't go
wrong. Add to that the fact you'd end up spending 2-300 pounds more to
build the machine yourself.

Sorry - I didn't see that there was already a thread. The only one I could
find on Google ( http://snipurl.com/5d5i )started well but soon descended
into a slagging-off of pikey people and their supermarket of choice, and
from experience a thread like that is dead already. Hence a fresh start,
hopefully concentrating on the task in hand rather than personality clashes.
Dammit...now I've gone off topic!

It would but in this case you get the warranty and good quality componants.

Aldi will only take dosh or debit card, no cheque or creditcard, that rules
me out anyway.

This is a nasty piece of deception, something for Trading Standards.
It means that the included modem will *only* connect to Supanet ISP.

I'm buying neither. Aldi require the dosh up front. No cheque or
credit card. So I will probably be assembling my own computer DIY,
that way I can spread the cost over time.

Actually, I'd rather have the AMD CPU.

Not so! The Aldi's got a 9800. You want to know the difference?
9200 = £34.
9800 = £315.
(Taking the Abit offerings as an example, prices VAT-inclusive from
dabs.com.)

But what about support? See my previous posting. Huge difference in
quality, and you get to pay over £200 more to get the equivalent
treatment from Tiny.
> Ports etc. - 1.44MB Floppy Drive, USB2.0 Ports x4, Parallel & Standard Ports
Aldi: 7 USB ports (I believe) -- 3 front, 4 back. No floppy drive.
> Software 2 - Microsoft Office 2003 - 60 Day Trial
Aldi: Microsoft Word 2003, fully licensed. (At least there was on the
end-2003 offering.)

Not quite. Alan said the Tiny's got a 9200 *All-In-Wonder* which is £125
(Connect3D from Dabs). Still a lot less than £315 for a 9800, but then
you can get a 128MB (which is what the Aldi comes with) 9800SE for £122
(Sapphire from Dabs) or a 128MB 9800Pro for £169 (also Sapphire from Dabs).

Tiny aren't a company per se either. They went bust a couple of years ago
and were bought out by Time.

Just a thought, but do Tiny provide a proper winXP disk? The Medion pc I
bought from Aldi last year did...and that is rare. It also came with a
primary partition and two logical drives on the extended partition..making
it relatively simple to create more logical drives without interfering
with the installed OS.
This suited me, because I like to have my pc set up in a particular way, I
have two instances of XP installed and a separate drive for my My Docs (
which makes a format and reinstall, should it be necessary, less painful)

AMD XP 64 is faster than tha P4 6 Ghz.
9200 gfx card is signicantly slower than the Aldi which is similar to a 9800
Pro.

He has a point though. Few ppl would need 1 gb of RAM right now - better to
by 512k now and another in 3 months when it costs 50%. Same reason that you
never buy the very fastest CPU.

You are quite right. The 9800XXL ranks between a 9800SE and a Pro - so
value of around £130.
The AMD 64 is about the only AMD chip that is dearer than its Intel
counterpart.
Overall the Tiny machine is junk and the Aldi is a good bargin for anyone
not up to self-building (the reason I would never buy it).

Well, I've always self-built before, but I really cannot see how you could
possibly get all those components AND the software with 3 years warranty for
anything NEAR that price. The only reason I need it is for video editing and
compression. Otherwise I'd be happy with my crusty old Duron!

Maybe the people who build Medions have gone bust and it's liquidated
stock? I saw an advert (_not_ Aldi) on TV t'other night for a Medion
laptop for £999 - didn't catch the details as I only took notice when
the name Medion popped up on the screen.

Nope, Medion/Tevion/Scott and however many other names they trade under are
solvent.
They make shedloads of kit in various fields. Economies of scale? Quite
frankly, I don't care how they do it so long as they actually continue to do
it.

Sounds about right, Aldi had one in a coulple of months back for around that
price with 3 years warranty and insurance. Toys R Us also sell quite a bit
of Medion kit, but it's always considerably more expensive than Aldi.

You cannot self build that system for the same price with software. I had a
look about just for the sake of it and found I could build a better spec
system with better parts (although the Aldi parts are not bad - but a full
size rather than micro-ATX motherboard would be nice) for around Ł720
delivered.
However no keyboard, mouse, card reader, TV card, speakers or warantee
(other than manufacturers parts - usually one year) and no software.
Personally I have spares of all that stuff so makes no sense for me but I
can see why someone who buys off the shelf or has none of the bits would
find it very attractive.

Yes, and a remote control pad. But no monitor and no speakers. Actually, I
rather use my own speakers as included speakers are usually the worst
they can get away with. Understandable since not everybody have the same
interests.
Tiny is rather cagey with their spec, they only mention anything if it
is positive. E.g. what is the cache size of the Athlon 64 3000? This
processor speed comes also in a cut down version with half cache size,
but an AMD Athlon 64 3200 should be safe.

Oh yes. I buy my machines locally and don't have keyboards, trackballs
and monitors. The soundcard goes into a Technics hifi amplifier with
4 large speakers.

Presumably both caches are 64K, as in my Athlon XP 3000.

Jock.
Johannes H Andersen
According to the information on the AMD site, the Athlon 64 has 128k
Level 1 cache (64k data + 64 k instruction). However, the Level 2 cache
(on chip) can be 256k, 512k or 1M.
On another part of their site, they quote that Athlon 64 3000 has 512k and
Athlon 64 3200 has 1M, both running at 2.0 MHz. So no mention of the 256k.
Could it be that there exist early Athlon 64 versions with 256k? That was
what I was hinting at. Why does Tiny not report the cache size of the CPU?
Johannes H Andersen
Oops, make that 2.0 GHz! My first computer ran at 1 MHz :)
