So I am looking for a new desktop pc after I broke it by installing a program to update drivers. After running the program, I turned off the PC and when I turned it on the next day, my keyboard and mouse wouldn't work.
Long story short, my brother went round to have a look at it, took it away and went to fix it. Needless to say, it still hasn't been fixed and I don't think it will be...
Anyway, so at my college they use these Zoostorm Desktop PC's.
They are like a mini desktop tower thingy attached to the back of the monitor. They are pretty fast and they just get the job done.
Anyway, today, while at college, just out of curiosity, I searched for Zoostorm PC on eBay and clicked on the first result which was a budget PC with an i5 processor, 4gb ram and a 500gb hard drive.
So pretty bog standard specs really. Similar to what I had before in my old PC before my brother upgraded it to 16gb ram with an SSD just before I (ironically) broke it.
Anyway, the PC also comes with Zoostorm mouse and keyboard all for just £89! And I've checked the seller satisfaction rating and it was 99%.

It doesn't mention what graphics the computer has so I'm assuming it's just using the integrated graphics - which on the i5 I've heard are fairly good and are capable of playing some modern games as long as you reduce the settings.
In fact, there is even a channel on YouTube called "HD 4600 graphics gaming" or something like that where this guy plays modern games on an integrated gpu.
My old PC did have a dedicated graphics card, an Nvidia 750 GT, and my old PC was capable of playing games such as: OMSI 2, Train Simulator 2014, Minecraft and Cities Skylines.
I'm not a big gamer so I don't need insane specs - I didn't really play many other games apart from those mentioned above.
Anyway, I'm wondering, does anyone know anything about Zoostorm and whether it is a good brand or not?
Do you think a PC like this would be a good budget PC for a student like me who is liable to breaking PC's (I could afford a higher spec PC but I would be too scared of breaking it and I tend to mostly just do low end stuff these days like use Microsoft Office and watch YouTube videos etc).
BTW, I also found this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ZOOSTORM-ELITE-TOWER-PC-CORE-i7-2600-3-4ghz-31r/401631346829?hash=item5d8318008d:g:8vQAAOSwt~1b5Fac
Also, does anyone know if this PC is upgradable? - would I be able to add more ram or upgrade/add a graphics card?
