I have just PM'd you. Just thought I would add that maybe eBay would be a good bet too!
Hope I have helped.0 -
standard advice is to have a look at some of the cheap Dells on dmxdimension, you can get a Vostro desktop with a 17" TFT monitor for £235.

BTW if you're going for one of the cheaper ones where the OS choice is Vista Home Basic or XP Home and the RAM is 512Mb I would go with XP. Vista is only worth it if you get Home Premium and you will need at least 1 Gb RAM.It's my problem, it's my problem
If I feel the need to hide
And it's my problem if I have no friends
And feel I want to die0
