    Thanks for all the replies. I talked to my brother and he has suggested building one.

    I'd love to see him spec you individual parts and build any PC that's £149 (like the one I linked)..

    For a basic home/office PC which requires nothing special, you would be a fool to spend any more money than you need to.

    I refer you back to post #5. ;)

    That looked like a stonking deal to me too. Only downer is the need for an operating system if you don't have a spare Win 7 or don't like Linux.

    That's a good deal for the price. Although I never understand why they bundle these with FreeDOS, why not just put Ubuntu or Linux Mint and then people have a fully functioning operating system out of the box, which they can always overwrite with Windows if they want.

    For hassle free operation I'd go for the Dell Vostro posted above.
