Default The kids desktop just conked

Its making a rather melodious mechanical noise, i.e. the Hard Disk has gone, so time to replace the aged P4 2.8 room heater/white noise generator.

Dont need a monitor as we already have two on the desk, so any recommendations, cant be arsed building one.

Need something that will last and run games at a decent clip.

So, how much do I need to spend, would £500/600 do it ?
