Entry Level Desktop Recommendations Please

[View From The Top]

I'm looking at getting a desktop that my 8yo & 5yo can use as their mum is fed up with them hogging her laptop.

 

Any recommendations of a good, simple, cheap system would be appreciated.

£199 with XP, some peripherals included.

 

(we bought 55 at work for a project, not bad at all)

£199 with XP, screen etc included

 

There's no monitor with that. Monitor is another £86.

It is nevertheless, very good value. Use a secondhand monitor. Plenty of cheap/free CRTs kicking around. Save £30 and install XP from own disc [has to be Pro], if you have it.

Yes it does look good value, I was just commenting on the fact that stevo said there was a screen included.

 

Anyway, please can you recommend a wireless cable router to me on my other thread? Thanks.

My bad. We bought some at work and they came with Monitors so i put 2 + 2 and got 1890

 

Cable Router? I already did. £15.
