After a cheap but good spec Mini-Tower for home. Have a monitor, printer and a Broadband Modem/Connection already (for my Laptop) so all the bundles that are advertised don't really suit.

Not brand snobby at all but would like the following:

At least 2.4gig
DVD / CD-R
Min 256MB RAM
Fairly nice graphics card for games and stuff

Anyone know where I can get hold of something?

Ebay.......

You can pick up a system meeting those specs pretty easily, just the box etc, I guess then you could buy a router to split the connection between laptop and tower, if you haven't already got one.

Thanks Guys, I'll take a look. Never used Ebay before, should I be wary of ordering stuff on there?

Can build you one to spec for a lot less than £500 and am in MK so no 'are you trustworthy' issues. Let me know as Xmas is coming!!
