Yeah dont bother with Tiny. If you just want hassle free, dont care if you're overpaying, Dell are good, also try Pc-World. If you want to save money, get someone you know to build you one.

Indeed, dont go anywhere the likes of Time, Tiny or PC World

Theres a couple of people on here who do computers (me included ;) ) who could sort you out. Any idea of budget? or other requirements, processor, memory, hard drive, 15 or 17 monitor etc?

17 monitor, not a huge hard drive, 20 gb'ish. Pentium 4,
printer. Has to have windows and a cd rewriter. Other stuff I'm not sure of.

As a guide

AMD XP2000+
Samaung 256MB PC2700 DDR
Western Digital 20GB 7200RPM HDD
LG 48x16x48 CDRW
LG 16x DVD
56k V92 Modem
128MB GeForce 4 Mx420 with Tv-out
Epson C42UX Printer

Plus Speakers, Mouse, Keyboard, Floppy Drive and all in a 300w case.

Operating system of your choice (windows 98/2000/XP), office 2000, Nortons Antivirus and Photoshop 6. Other software available on request.

The above would cost £550 delivered.

I only do base units (tower unit, keyboard, mouse, speakers) as monitors cost too much to post and basically are a pain to post. :D
