    I got a JAL base unit just over a year ago for £348. The think I liked about them is that they included the extras like a floppy drive (Dell were charging something ridiculous like £23.50 for one), a graphics card, modem (which I needed at the time). I also got two optical drives which is handy if one breaks down (and it did - which was a bit of a pain but it was sorted). For a cheap computer I wouldn't have thought breakdown insurance is worth it and it is relatively easy to replace components in desktops for not much cost.
