Buying a desktop pc

My desktop pc is really old now and I'm looking to buy a new one. Trouble is I don't have a huge budget - I have maybe around £200 to spend. I really only need the base unit as my monitor and speakers etc are all fine. Ideally I would like one with 80GB hard drive and 512mb memory and maybe around a 3ghz processor (hope I've got that bit right but I'm sure you get my drift!) Does anyone know of a good deal at the moment? Maybe a sale on pc's or a special offer or something? The desktop pc would have to be 'ready to use' as I don't have enough knowledge of them to add memory or make upgrades etc. Thanks in advance.

then either xp or vista
Have got 2 of these recently for business/home xp pro
Note that it is not a cd/dvd recorder, but you can get them very cheaply and easy enough to install.
