Entry-level PC with XP Pro - £199 Edit - Now XP Home

At eBuyer.

It's a basic spec:
* Intel Celeron 330 (2.66GHz)
* 256 MB RAM
* 40 GB Hard Drive
* Microsoft Windows XP Pro
* DVD Drive, PS/2 keyboard and Mouse
...but the inclusion of XP Pro makes this a real bargain. Sub-£200 PCs are often shipped with no OS or Linux. And it's branded.
Currently 299 in stock - let's see how long they last.
Can I help?

    An additional 256MB would make these very competent basic office machines for Internet browsing, word processing, spreadsheets etc. This would cost 15 quid or so.
