    Check these guys out..They're new but offer a very decent warranty with a replacement and your money back if it breaks in the first year.

    Most are in the &#163;650 bracket and come with semi-decent gfx cards.

    I don't know what fps you're likely to get with these cards on oblivion but a 64mb (256 turbocache) Geforce 7400 has given me around 50 -60fps @ 1280 x 1024 on CS:S on reasonably high settings.

    Having spoken to him about the limitations for a laptop on that budget, it may well be a desktop. Maybe I should make a new thread . But I thought something like:
    Abit Aw8 S775 motherboard
    E6320 processor (or my e6300 and I'll have the e6320 )
    X1950 pro
    320gb hard drive
    Same PSU as mine
    2 gigs of generic pc6400 memory (micron major from scan I think)

    Came to about &#163;480 before operating system and peripherals

    He doesn't really do overclocking, so just trying to keep the prices down

    you could build a nice micro atx system..

    They are portable to a point especially if you can afford to use one of the very small cases and special power supplys.

    Failing that the Silverstone sugo can take a double width graphics card and a full ATX power supply and you can stick it in a gym bag to carry around with you.

    This would be my way.

    Abit Fatal1ty F-190HD (uATX)
    E6600
    320gb HD
    pc 5400 or pc6400 2GB
    x1950pro
    500W psu
    Silverstone SG-01

    Thats about &#163;500
