    Sorry Dawn was looking for a matched bet. Found a small profit one so that will do me for tonight I guess.

    Are you going to order the one from Ebay Dawn?

    I was off watching Eastenders. I think I love Sean :$, I like dark brooding people, but I think he's probably slightly too mental even for me. My mum said he's from Brighton, if only I'd bumped into him first lol.

    I'm glad you found your dryer cheaper lilmiss. I managed to get the computer I want down to £725 today, but I'm still resisting hard as it is.

    I might not have mentioned it, but my computer is slightly over 4 yeras old now, and to be honest although I got a decent one at the time, and it has lasted me quite well, I could really do with a new one. I've got my heart set on this http://www.dixons.co.uk/martprd/store/dix_page.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@0010869824.1230844813@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccdkadegdkklldjcflgceggdhhmdfoj.0&page=Product&fm=null&sm=null&tm=null&sku=768897&category_oid=-32657 I saw it in PC world about a month ago and fell in love with it. I know it's alot of money, but the one I have at the moment (which has a lower spec) cost me £1000 and has lasted me 4 years. If I got that one it could potentially last forever (well, almost!).

    Is that the cheapest?

    PCs drop so much though and quickly. Mine dropped £200 in a year. Was £500 when i got it last August, less than £300 now.

    Could you just get the base and use an existing screen?

    Look at this beauty though.....

    If i won the lottery....... :D

    It's £900 in store, and was £830 online til a couple of days ago. Discount codes & cashback would make it £725. It's an all in one computer so it doesn't have a tower or anything, I think that's part of the reason for the price, but it does have a 22" philips screen, it's huge! I'm holding out mainly for the reason you said, if the economy does continue to be as crap as it, I'm hoping it will get even cheaper.
