This is my first post, so hello to everybody! I hope this is in the correct forum.

I am going to estonia for 3 months with my college and staying in student dorms. I have heard they have internet access there, but only have a home PC!

Short of buying a new one (which could be up to £500) I thought about perhaps renting one from the UK and taking it to estonia for this peroid.

Has anybody done this before? If so, could you recommend a good place to get a quote? And how much should i be looking at paying for 3 months?

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

    Go on Ebay, buy a Dell Latitude D610 or a Thinkpad T42 with a gig of RAM in. You'll get both under £150 and they'll do the job and are cheap enough to be treated as "disposable."

    Or stick it on ebay for £100 when you get back. Cost you £50 'rental'
