Thanks guys for the replies. I will take a look at the links you have posted. Remember that it is not just dell in particular that i am after but would not mind paying a little more for a solid brand name.

Take a good look at this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Full_Systems.html#afs_2d004_2doc

eBay is also quite good, but i generally don't buy from shops, some listings try to hide the fact they haven't put the VAT on yet and do so after the listing ends

reduce the onsite warranty to 1 year return and collect instead of the 3 year thing, it reduces it by a lot. also go through quidco and you save another 5%

onboard graphics are crap for playing games as they cannot handle much

Who said his uncle wants to play games - on board graphics are fine for everyday use outwith gaming and high end video editing etc. 90% of PC's in offices have on-board graphics.

Computer fairs - completely agree - that is 1990's - do people still go to computer fairs???

Get a Dell - have a look at the deals mentioned at https://www.hotukdeals.com (another bargain searching website) and also buy through quidco. There are quite a few Dell deals referenced there today.

Alternatively get an Acer - cheap and can be had from Tescos or https://www.ebuyer.co.uk. This is assuming you do not need any support.

Well that's my tuppence worth.

Broke Student,

MCS is a Dell reseller that regularly sells off cheapies, get yourself on the mailing list, but be aware the offers sell out quickly.

eg Tuesdays email had 35 Dells and the above link that had the full list now at time of this post has only 9 left, the best have gone.

Still can only get that spec down to £449. The 3100s seem to be the really cheap ones.
