Lenovo ThinkCentre A70 Celeron Dual Core E3400 Tower Desktop PC - £159.00 @ BHS Direct
Couldn't find how much the delivery cost is, so guessing it might be free.
Its only 1GB ram, but memory prices seem to be quite cheap at the mo, so upgrading it to the max wouldn't be to much of an issue?

Reminds me of their P series corporate stuff.
I love how it says the OS is DOS as well!!!
Actually marginally cheaper from CCL:

These recent Celerons aren't super quick but aren't as slow as the old ones, personally I think Intel made a marketing mistake continuing the Celeron name 'cos you're not the first person to think 'Eurgh'.

I disagree. Its probably worth knocking the RAM up a bit, 2GB DDR3 sticks only cost £10 - £15, but the CPU and HDD will be fine for most people who just use the PC for normal internet/ office tasks.
This Celeron is a Core 2 (Wolfdale, 45nm) with less cache so how can it be bad, and what exactly do 'most users' do? Browse the web, and do a bit of word processing making this amply powerful...
Amazing how simply having the name 'celeron' makes people instantly dismiss it.
It's a very competent well performing CPU that will be fine for most average users.

it benchmarks really well, outperforming some Athlons, Xeons, Pentiums and Core2duo's
Obviously those that render HD video, edit 40gb raw digital images or 3d gamers might do to look elsewhere.

I guess im probably looking at it from more of media user or gamers perspective, I have been building several systems recently looking at getting the most value for money out of each component, e.g cost per gigabyte of hard drive space or ram, and 1gb RAM and 160gb hard drive are very low by todays standards. That said it is a low cost system and the e3400 is powerful enough for office/internet use and maybe some older games.
Please bear in mind that benchmark chart is the mid to high range one and doesnt include the latest generation CPU's which typically get 3,500+ in the benchmarks
