    If you go in through quidco there is 5% cashback on the cost excluding VAT and shipping charges.
    If it takes a man a week to walk to walk a fortnight how long does it take a fly with tackity boots on to walk through a barrel of treacle?

    Sorry dude, no chance, not with an OS. Try 2nd hand on ebay or something but generally people charge about £25 for shipping on ebay!

    Well via dmxdiemnsion you can get an Inspiron 530 base unit with Core 2 Duo, Vista Home Premium and 2Gb of RAM for £239 without a monitor. I think you'll struggle to do a lot better.

    What's wrong with your currnet PC exactly? If it's just a PSU they start at £5 so would eb a cheap fix. Alternatively you could look at getting a Motherboard, CPU and RAM to put in you exisitng case and use existing components and OS to finish it.
    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 die

    HP dx2250 - MT ATHLON 64 X2 5000+ 2.6GHz 2GB 250GB DVD-RW VISTA HOME BASIC

    I know it is Vista Home Basic but with the £50 cashback it can be had for £188 (using Quidco will bring it down further)

    I think you will struggle to get Vista Premium for that money

    It has a PCI-e slot for graphics upgrade too. Fantastic for the money!
