Hi. I only just ordered my Dell yesterday so am fresh with knowledge on some of their stuff.

Post your requirements for the PC and your budget and im sure people will be able to help more. Remember if it doesn;t suit your needs, then it can't be a good deal FOR YOU no matter what the cost is.

If you are interested, this is what I ordered yesterday:
Dell E520 £650:
Intel® Viiv™ Core® 2 Duo® E6400 2.13GHz
2048MB Dual Channel DDR2 533MHz [2x1024] Memory
320GB (7200rpm) Serial ATA Hard Drive with 8MB DataBurst™ cache
256MB Nvidia GeForce 7300 TurboCache graphics card
Genuine Windows® XP Media Center Edition 2005
MCE to Vista Premium Upgrade (Free)
Dell™ 19" Value Flat Panel
Upgrade to ultra sharp, usually £41.
16x DVD +/- RW Drive
Collect & Return, 1 Year Service only
Dell 5650 5.1 Surrond System (Retail value £75, ebay for £30 profit).

It may or not matter to you but that system is not advised for playing games:
- Poor graphics card (for games, ok for movies and stuff)
- No space in the micro case to better graphics card in the future
- Even if there was space for a new card, the power supply unit in there is unsuitable for new cards and a new power supply unit for that case is only available from Dell (and very expensive!).
