Hi
Looking for a really cheap desktop for relatives.
They will only use for surfing the net, looking at photos and maybe outlook and word?
So nothing to fancy.
Found this one
Compaq CQ2300UK Desktop PC (VG230AA) - Intel® Atom™ processor 230, 1GB RAM, 160GB Hard Drive, Windows XP Home, on staples website for £181.56
Already have spare monitor etc for it.
Alternatively a cheap laptop would do but at this price
Thanks in advance

A shadowy flight into the dangerous world of a man who does not exist.
A young loner on a crusade to champion the cause of the innocent,
the helpless, the powerless, in a world of criminals who operate above the law.

In which case the price meets the requirements. Browsing Flash and YouTube could be potentially problematic I suspect with the Intel Atom.

Specs alright for browsing etc... price is a bit steep though...
