Hi all
I came on and asked about a new base only and after searching for ages have just brought this from http://www.cdiscount.co.uk/Computing/desktops/standardekstops/f/1097/183961.html#AnchorTabOurOpinion
but I got another 20% off that price and free delivery so only paying £375
codes discounts from http://www.laughingdeals.com/all-deals-10.html
so hoping its ok for are needs just to do emails and search the net ,if the experts think its a bad deal / computer just shout

    If you just need it for emails and internet, almost any PC would be fine, that one definatly will be.
    Looks like it's got a a graphics card too, rather than integrated graphics, so if you did want to play games it would probably cope (maybe not brand new fancy ones though).
