I am trying to help out some friends of the family. They are after a basic PC for their kids (7, 5 and 3 years old) so they can get on the Web, load educational CD-ROMS. do homework etc.

Price is a big issue and they want to spend as little as possible. Can anyone reccomend somewhere? I was thinking Novatech but I'm not sure of the quality....

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Richard

Have a look at www.scan.co.uk/today.htm
They make things called Terminators, and are basic boxes just requiring a few CPU/Memory/HDD choices (if they are not going cheap today, visit again for a couple of days, the seem to be on offer every 3 days or so).
