I use the lap top, but hubby like the computer, but it's now died, or rather my s-i-l said it's been on it's last legs for years, it's about 8 years old, and it only has 256mb memory, so i was wondering if anyone knows of a cheap desk top pc, won't need the monitor as we have one already.

I agree its more likely to resemble your image, but with windows 7 and office 2010, if its powerful enough for the OP's needs it could be just the right thing. It would cost more than £100 just to buy the software.
Specs are: a refurbished Windows 7 desktop computer with a 15-inch monitor, keyboard and mouse. With a P4 2GHz processor, 1GB of RAM and a 40GB hard drive its never going to set the world on fire, but it might just be the perfect solution for the OP.0 -
For youtube,browsing and basic computing.
for £149 think i would rather take my chances on http://www.ebuyer.com/389623-zoostorm-desktop-pc-7873-1066
And a linux OS, or take the special offer that includes windows 7 for £221.0 -
