    I'd second that. For towers they are pretty good as you can customise most options. I've got the cheapest Dell base unit for office use and it works fine, to have got something similar in a local specialist shop would have been £100 more.

    COMPAQ SG3-250uk

    just ordered this from currys for ds because its duel core and its got a ATI Radeon™ 3000 graphics chip with quidco and a discount code i got £18.50 off this price plus £11 cashback.

    a word of caution though....their is no wireless capability built in with desktops, you will need to add a networking card so that will add a little to the cost.
