New desktop !

roadsidetree

Hi,

It is like this - my OH is about to start a new job with something to do with computers. We cannot afford to splash the dosh. Our max budget is £450/-.

We did quite a lot of search in the net but ended up confused. We understand Dell is good but there are so many models to choose from it is highly confusing

what my Oh is looking for is - lots of hard disk space (& lots), good processing power (intel one), cd/dvd drive and since space is premium a flat screen monitor.

can someone suggest a good desktop model please.

many thanks

buying the laptop is not an option as this could double up as family computer after a while. any way many thanks for your post
