Cheap PC

[Pij]

Hey guys,

Need to build a cheapo PC, just for running some laser software (nothing stressful), email and net access, on XP.

Have a HDD but need the rest of the base unit.

I havnt got a clue on how good the cheap Pentium's and celerons are, but I imagine any of them will be quicker than a MBP 2.26 C2D running XP in a virtual PC.

Well I was originally going to buy a ex-business 2.66 C2D for £85 + add more memory, so taking it to £100ish, so upto around £150, if thats even possible? Doesnt need any decent graphics as it wont ever play games, or have to play video.
