New desktop PC

18.5" low res screen? Throw it back into the water.

I have bought about 60 of these desktops in various configurations and they have allways been excellent value for money and no complaints from customers.

The Desktop is fine for £150. The monitor is rubbish. £150 for Windows 7 and a cheap monitor is the issue.

Can you suggest an alternative that fits the £300 budget?

And what exactly is wrong with the screen? It's better than 720p after all.

If you are happy with it, I won't get in your way.

My preference for a PC screen would be Full HD and no less than 23".

That seems a decent enough spec; don't know the brand though.

You can go used to get costs lower, but it does depend upon what's going at the point in time you buy.

I would LIKE full HD and at least 21, but I doubt that would come in under budget.

I've looked at places like PCSpecialist, but their base units with no monitor come in at over £300 by them selves.

If you could suggest any alternatives I'd quite like to take a look.

Thanks,
