without looking around in to much detail i remeber seeing a barebones system in maplin for Ã,£129
http://www.maplin.co.uk/search.aspx?MenuNo=523&MenuName=Barebone+Kits&worldid=4&FromMenu=y&doy=22m7
just needs HDD and RAM from what I can see. silent, plenty of scope for upgrading and a pretty cute case.

ijust want something to do basic 3d work on at uni, browsing the web etc...
im not much of a gamer but anything which can run hl2 nicely would improve things indeed.

Fujitsu Celeron tower, Ã,£186
Buy another 256MB RAM to fit to it and a 15" TFT of your choice, youll come in well under Ã,£300
For Ã,£300 you are either compromising on something, or buying a piece of crap.
However
http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/103124 : Slap your own copy of XP on it.
http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/89079 : Buy TFT to go with it and again, slap a copy of XP on it with some more RAM.
Remember that if you install the RAM yourself your warranty is void. Also if you got a cheaper lappy you wont be able to fit more than one stick of RAM in them as they tend to come with the single slot already filled.
alan can i take you up on your offer :D
^ yeah, cool :)
