I'm after a new base unit for my grandad
he doesn't have much to spend, so only wanted to spent about £100
hes got monitors etc, so just need the base

Hi all

A colleague is looking for a desktop PC without a monitor and is looking at Staples' emachines EL1200 from Staples for £247.76. I'm not convinced by the brand name and wondered if anybody could suggest a good alternative in the sub-£300 price bracket.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Steve

My PC has finally come to that point of no return where it's almost completly made of replacement parts that i've added over time. With it now shutting down every day of it's own accord and software running sluggish regardless of my actions, i've decided to try for a new system.
