I'm looking to pick up a new baseunit only as my current 5 year old system has just died.. And this Packard Bell Celeron 1800 laptop is way too limited...

I have from the old system;

• Two ATA HDD's (340 gig) and an OK set of PCI Graphics and sound cards.
• Key board, mice and a 19" TFT.
• Wireless broadband router.
• Several USB devices and v2.0 4 port PCI USB card
• 12x DVD and a 32x CD (these probably need upgrading)
• 512 SDRAM (most probably not compatible with DDR???)

I'm a heavu user / surfer and would watch DVD's but mainly install various blagged or trial security software (firewalls, AV, spyware) for testing for work. Would listen to a lot of music or webcasts/podcasts.....

I'm therefore looking to pick up a decent baseunit that comes in under £400 to fit that lot in. If you can get it under £300 with no major degredation in performance, then so much the better.

So basically a new tower case, PSU, MOBO (doesn't have to be the lastest and fastest FSB), CPU (cooling) and reasonable memory.

I'm a lazy git and the various new Mobo / CPU / sockets / Cooling configs will take some time to research and building another PC wil be a little fraught. So if there's any resellers out there who can put me something together and include delivery then please post or PM...

FYI. I'm just checking my options as work may have something for me tomorrow, but it may be small form factor and therefore not suitable.... It may also be a few years old Dell Desktop....

If work falls through, then I'll be buying by the weekend..

Cheers
