Friend needs to replace his desktop. Wants to pay about £300 not a gamer type just emails and surfing.

    Hey Astro,

    we have one of these at work and it runs our reporting service really well so dealing with surfing and emails will be a breeze. At £250 its a steal but you will need to have an external cd drive or boot from USB to add a OS. (also you will need to use your existing monitor, keyboard and mouse)

    Another bonus is if you want to move it to the front room and plug into your TV (if you have this option) it's great for movies and the like.
