Decent Spec/Priced Desktop For The Kids?

[View From The Top]

Wife and I use laptops but want a desktop just for the kids to use. Any recommendations for something around £400?

 

Our only real requirement is wifi and a decent sized RAM.

Could build a pretty decent Desktop for that price to be fair...

have a look on the Novatech website: http://www.novatech.co.uk/ £400 gets you a fair way up their range but they dont include monitors. Ebuyer currently have a decent LG monitor at £60: http://www.ebuyer.com/194601-lg-w1946s-bf-18-5-monitor-w1946s-bf-aek

Seems to suggest it doesn't even come equipped with a mouse. A wired one can be bought for the bargain price of £34, with wireless at £55

Correct, just like when you buy some Novatech or any other separate PC towers, you use your own peripherals. You can plug your own USB mouse and keyboard in and use any monitor. We use an Apple wireless keyboard and mouse with ours though, and they're brilliant.

I think the point is that getting the rest of the components will push the final bill to over 500 (mouse, keyboard, decent monitor) which is well over the budget suggested.
