I thought so too. It came up on HUKD a week or two ago but sold out when I happened to find it searching for something else. Signed up to their mailing list and more came in stock.
Cheaper but better spec (older generation processor but faster) than similar workstations on the Dell Outlet I was seriously considering so I'm happy.

Quick look around suggests that the 'standard' offers on this are nearly all i5, nearly all 4/8GB tbh, and nearly all more expensive - so a genuine bargain there.

Looks that way. And it's already been delivered, quick turn around. Should last me a good few years.
Now to figure out how to split stuff for an SSD + HDD windows and Linux dual boot.

I'm toying with the idea, heretical though it seems.

Although, now that I re-read that quote, he must have been typing with his phone. Unless, perhaps, doing 'eeet' would empoverish me to the extent that I'd starve.

Well, excitement wasn't quite as long lived as I'd hoped.
Probably won't fit a 3.5" and 2.5" drive, may have to ditch the optical drive, which isn't really an issue.
Bigger problem is the x16 slot is on the left, rather than right, which means my double width card probably won't work in x1 slot
:C

Replacing the 3.5" drive with a slimmer 3.5" drive means I can now fit the SSD in.
Turns out the GFX card works fine in the other slot.
All good!

That's just how it sounds in Arnie's Austrian accent. Now - get to tha choppa!
