Hi all,
I would be grateful if someone could give pointers as to where i could get hold of the best spec'ed PC (without the monitor) for a budget of £400 or so.
It needs to be pretty good for gaming (good grahics card) and have DVD Re-Writer inclusive.
Any advice would be most welcome.

Hi Manik,
Can't quite believe I'm replying to this as I'm a complete computer novice
BUT
Our friend who is very computer clued up helped us buy ours from http://www.europc.co.uk/.
He has bought two for himself and one for his Mum from there - all three were advertised as refurbished but they were all brand new - same for ours.
Really fast delivery too :T0 -

Suggest u visit (large) W H Smiths and preview, don’t buy – look (as most people do) to see if any review of what PC u want, take a note of the manufacturers tel number, I programme into my mobile). The larger Smiths have about 20 mags and you can bet many have reviews. ( U can also visit large Library, most have several PC mags, they also keep back issues, and Which Mag - photocopy rewiews u interested in)
Now u have telephone number, call the manufacturer; refer to mag review and tell them what you plan to use PC for and how much more, if anything, your specification will cost – also advise them u need a written quote as u must get 3 quotes from different suppliers to compare prices with your Boss.
Computer Shopper have advice on ordering, they have a 'purchase order' type form (you can fax to supplier) so as to ensure u get exactly what u want/ordered at agreed £.. some mag publishers will contact PC supplier if u have problems delay/spec/£- but u MUST use mags order form.
Good Luck0
