Would you consider a Dell? For your average user who does not need to do anything special and who does not know much about computers, they are pretty ideal.

but Dell only do Vista now, a few returned xp machines in the Dell Outlet section but thats it

motorguy

Phone Craigavon Computer Centre on 028 38 316699. They can supply you with a pc with XP on it if required for a decent price.

I'm not sure that is 100% accurate they are offering a free vista upgrade within their packages at the moment but if you wanted XP Home / Pro SP2 you should be able to get it, I'll have a look at the entry level system now for you.

Edit: I stand corrected they seem to have changed and that is rather a suprise, I was expecting them to give Vista a little more time before wiping the rest out....

And a Hanns G JC171DP 17" Flat Panel Monitorat £99.99 delivered from Play.com
Also went through Quidco on both for a little extra discount

Could have had a monitor for £84.95 from Tecno but delivery charges where £12.95! So play have always been very reliable with past orders so they got the order.
