Has anyone purchased this computer?

 

[unclebud]

went in and asked about them two weeks ago, manager said that they sent them back to go to another store
check around the registers, they probably have some four page flyers that describe all of the features, softs, etc
they did here anyway. gl

You may want to check on this, but the media center PCs sold by Aldi in Germany have gotten some complaints about being extremely noisy, think: airplane about to take off.

Other than that I know people are very happy with them.

Interesting.

I own an older model from Medion. Purchased at Costco.
Hardware was good stuff, nothing broken yet.
Customer Service was pretty dam quick when i lost my restore disc.

I would be willing to buy another Medion, if i needed another PC. THis one is doing me just fine.

My dad purchased a Medion computer from Aldi last year. 2 months after he goit it the cooling fan on the video card died and the video card cooked it self. Took medion 2 months of telling me that the card was on back order before they got me a temp card just to get the computer up and running. The replacement card showed up 1 day before a replacement computer showed up that I worked out with a different department since I was down for 2 months. On the new computer the hard drive died in 3 weeks.

In my opionion these computers are just garbage.
