My flatmates laptop is fooked!! (aparently the LCD screens knackered and would cost a fortune to replace)

Sooooooo, I'm looking to get myself a half decent desktop affair.

Any advice on what to get and where from? I'll mostly be using it for the internet and this forum:D (not too fussed about aplications as I have to do work at work and can't bring it home. And there's the PS2 for games)

I was looking at an advert in the paper from DELL, it seemed like a reasonable deal for a conventional desktop set up but I'm a bit clueless. (and they did interst free credit)

I've heard PC World and the likes are a bit sh*te so I might go to a small build-it-to-spec type job.

Anyone know of any in the south?

Cheers, Alg;)

If you don't want to play games on it then don't spend more than about a couple of hundred quid...

There is no point in wasting good money if you aren't gojng to use its full ability.

But won't that affect my ability to download and use stuff via the internet?

I've been off line since I put the first post in and it's realllllly getting on my t*ts.
