"Retail PC for about £600 ish..."

Anyone know of anywhere? Haven't checked out the new MAXX range (is it out yet?), but PC World have a half-decent one for £500. Not for me, or for gaming, just general purpose for a mate who has less of a clue than me, and it has to be store/web bought.

Dell are starting to get a good reputation again, aren't they?

Jesus, this is good:

Get out of this thread :0(

At that sort of money you can afford to tailor-make one yourself, but if that's not an option or you don't fancy effectively being the warranty go-to man then something like that DELL would be fine. Does your friend need a 250GB hard disk though?

EDIT: I was looking at the panel on the right. 160GB is better.

Graphic Card

128MB PCI-Express ATI Radeon X300SE

NooooooO!

That is rather good... As I don't know anything at all about graphics cards, would that be better or worse than a gigabyte mayea radeon 9000 pro?
