That takes me above £300.

For what you need the PC World £300 job with the TFT monitor will suit your needs, I wouldn't buy a PC from there, but for what you need, it will be fine.

[innocent]

Oh no. It's gone. I've got to start looking all over again.

[sparky33]

Don't you know anyone that could build one for you? For £300 you could get a good one made up using some second hand components, you can even get really good HP referbs direct from HP on ebay, and they are fully warrented and only go for around £200 for the topo spec ones, and you can pick up a TFT for £100, the rest of the input devices are virtually pennies.

It seems I only have 2 to choose from with my budget. Which one should I choose? I think I'll go for the first 1. What dyou think?

That is just the shop list, look here too

And bear in mind these are base stations only, with no peripherals.

[innocent]

Right. Now I'm even more confused than before. How come theyre so cheap and what are peripherals?

[sparky33]

monitor, keyboard, mouse and speakers are the basic ones, then you have printer and scanner. to complete a set up.
