Buying a new desktop - any recommendations?
I'm buying it for a non - techy pal who just wants Internet, MS Office and the occasional iPlayer video - no games, nothing clever.
The budget is around £300, box only.
I would have looked at Mesh, but they've just gone bust.
Any suggestions will be gratefully received!

Massively over specced for that they want, but it's in budget.

Why buy a refurb from Morgan with Vista on it when you can buy a brand new Dell with Windows 7 on it for the same money.
This Dell is £299 and has a decent CPU, 2Gb of memory, 320Gb hard drive, and Windows 7. It al;so has Windows Office Starter (Word and Excel) which the Vista box wont have.

ChuckFickens recommendation is a refurbish item, with only 90 days warrantee.
Ebuyer is selling this machine – which has a 1 year warrantee for only a fiver more (post free).

But both machines are well overspeced for what your pal wants.
Something like this would be more than adequate, saving around £70.
