Wink Anyone have an old desktop for sale?

Well I thought I would ask

I use an old PC for work at home and it struck me that I ought to get a spare just in case..

So has anyone upgraded recently and want to sell their old one?

My basic need is for a PC with Windows XP, Word and Excel. Min 200 GB drive and 2.0 RAM Memory and 2.0 USBs. Any extras like Internet connectivity would be a bonus.

As you can probably tell from this post computers are a little alien to me but I hope above makes sense.

Please pm if you can help.

Happy New Year

David

£65 and just meets your required hardware spec. I got a similar model with slightly higher spec from them for about £110 and it is ace. Doesn't have XP and Office on it though, but my one had a Windows 7 sticker on it and it took the same HP OEM Windows 7 disc I had at work which I used to reinstall it.

Yea those aren't bad, standard office desktop kit really. We have the same base units at my place but with core i5 sandybridge cpu's instead. I have 2 of them, they run pretty much 24/7, so pretty reliable, touch wood.
