Hmmm, that seems like a pretty good spec for the money to be honest.

I've had a look around, and the only things close to that, are the Dell Studio / Vostro etc and the one's in the purple shirt land.

Yeah looks OK. That is pretty old technology though. Definitely worth looking around the Dell (and Dell Outlet) sites though.
