You won't get significantly better unless you build it yourself, particularly if you go to Dixons/PC World etc.

They are supposed to be pretty good, u don't need to build if u don't want to just avoid pc world/Currys etc
Medion are pretty good but they sell for aldi only.

I've got the new Medion one, but it isn't as good as it could be.

Windows XP brings up the blue screen with loads of error messages if you don't log in quick enough. the DVD RW doesn't like to read DVD's, the DVD ROM doesn't like to read CD's, and OMG it takes a long time to respond to and do the simplest tasks.

For example, when you right click an item, it takes a good 4 or 5 seconds for the menu to pop up.

Not bad for only £800, but had I known it cold be so anoying, I'd have given it a second thought.

Only prob i find with maxx pc's is that u can only upgrade most of their models to a Geforce FX...
My mate has a medion and it works fine.
I think u could consider evesham, dell, maxx pc and novatech if you don't want to build it yourself.
