    Best PC for £100ish?

    Hi,

    Im looking for a PC for the short term as my laptop is breaking, ideally don't want to spend more than £100ish, but will if its worth it.

    I don't mind second hand or building it myself.

    Currently this sort of thing seems the best, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...#ht_605wt_1165

    Any ideas

    thanks in advance for any replies

    I'd go for an old business spec HP machine from ebay.

    Pay around £30 > £50 and spend the rest on RAM and a GPU

    Seems like a decent buy considering it comes with an OS

    You could check gumtree (they have regional adverts) online and the local papers.

    I presume at £100 you are not too fussy and should be able to pick something up. You might also be able to salvage your HDD out of your laptop if it does keel over.

    I would go with Infinate about the OS as that is usually at least £20.
