Budget build

[adwol48]

Hi guys, the G/f parents have asked me to look for a budget build for them. needs to be under 400, been trying different combinations and so far best i can find is the primo 6100a add in an OS and it's 323 ish. anybody able to make a better bargain than this. What with HDD prices going through the roof I just cant squeeze it under £300 for them.

forgot to mention when building a custom system i've been using the cmdouble and AG15 codes and mixing that with the value bundles etc and cant beat the primo's price.

Specifics?

I assume no gaming. Storage space needed for music films etc?

it's literally just for internet use plus so home office use. Gaming is not needed at all maybe some media use but mainly youtube etc. storage isnt a major concern as they currently have an 80gb hdd so 500gb should be more than adequate

Another option if it needs to be that cheap would be to look (google) for "Acer Aspire Revo r3700". Then get windows 7 on it. (comes with linux as standard)

should come to around the £270 mark.
