If anyone is looking for a cheap computer for music and browsing the web etc then I think you'd struggle to beat this deal.  Add a monitor and it's still going to work out cheaper than an equivalent laptop!  Be good as a present for anyone with kids who are being hassled for a computer as well perhaps.

Thats alright Bob!
Someone can't remember said you could build a quad one for about £300?

Yeah sounds possible to be, would be pretty bare bones though.  I recently upgraded my computer, AMD Quad core 855 black edition, 8GB RAM, motherboard and GTX 460 768MB graphics card, about 300 all in.

Yeah considering it, but funds and time always stop me hunting for bargins!
I'm waiting for mine to die for good P4 its like waiting for you tube TV to blow up before you buy a flat screen

i reckon i could build a good enough PC for you average needs for sub £200, but the OS, im ok but some people like windows and like it genuine 

my graphics card turned up this week £209 and thats a fairly average card  my PC has cost me around a grand but it should last me long term, at least 6 months until its all out of date

balls... i've just spent £80 updating a very old pc with lots of gb and a new graphics card in order to run win7

oh well... at least i know where to find a cheap pc in the future, thanks Nigel
