New desktop

thenakedchef

Im looking for a new desktop pc,

I already have an Acer Aspire T120E which is on its last legs, bought back in 2005, no upgrades as not 100% sure what I can do with it. Just a 250GB external hard drive plugged up to it.

Just looking for something which will run a bit quicker. I have formatted it several times to see if that works but unfortunately it always seems to slow down. All my work / music is stored on the external hard drive.

Any suggestions of what to do / buy?

Budget?

any hint of the kind of thing you'd want to do on it?

if its just basic stuff you can do alot worst than a bog standard dell type thing, mid-range there is little to be gained building from scratch but have been some people have been managing lower cost starting with a 'bare bones' kit and adding final components/reusing an old monitor.... probably not much better 'value' tho given the faff involved

Ideally about 300-400.

I was looking at http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/-/656/863/-/12427273/Acer-Aspire-Revo-R3610-Intel-Atom-Dual-Core-330-1-6GHz-4GB-500GB-Windows-7-Home-Premium-Nettop-Desktop-PC/Product.html?searchtype=genre

Obviously no disk drive? Would hook up to current monitor and external hard drive. Or are there any others you could suggest?

Lenovo's are good solid desktops, you also can't go wrong with an HP desktop.
