That's what I bought mine for. It's not a great deal but if you can dig out a knackered, broken computer like mine then it's worth a few quid.

the offer quotes the SRP, not the price they would do it at ordinarily. Fairly standard 'pulling the wool' sales tactics!

but is it any good as a dive comp?

I've got a Vyper and dive air or nitrox to suit the dive, but am not doing any deco diving, although this may change in future.

I do have a dead computer in a cupboard, so am curious as to whether it's worthwhile getting some value from it, or keeping my cash towards other shiny things instead.

Having a 2nd comp would be useful backup, but then that's what my buddy's for!

yes its a very worthy comp is the quantum and would recommend it its better than a vyper and very easy to understand i have one myself and a vytech ds i look at my quantum more than my vytech and iv had longer too since they first come out and only changed the battery a couple of months back for the first time since iv had it and its never let me down Japanese technology i love it

Deco on a Quantum is much nicer than deco on a Suunto that wants to get you to 3m where you gently fizz.

If I was going to choose between them, I'd go for a Quantum over a Suunto any day of the week. Download kit expensive, though, and knock-offs not yet available.
