    the next one up for £20 more has 512 ram, but in my opinion you should have 1gb ram, as there is net nanny for £17.99 extra a most for young kids,

    then get a monitor from ebuyer.com
    19" ones from around £95 LCD TFT widescreen
    cw

    If your gonna go for a TV/Monitor then firstly check you can get a digital signal in your sons room and if you can then it might be worth considering buying Freeview set top box and then he can watch it without his PC being on :confused:
    Always looking for a bargain and to help

    It's £30 more and only has a CD writer and a slower HDD. The cheaper one is better value. You can pick up another 256 MB of memory for as little as £15 or 512 MB for £25. 1GB RAM isn't necessary for the efficient running of XP. Even the 256 MB upgrade would make a significant difference.
    It's a good, low cost system.
