Theres no way we'd be able to spec you a build for £60. Even using second hand parts.

Remove the competitor as well

Jaz_0 · 15 Mar 2009 at 19:44

Aye, looks like I will have to go down the second hand route, tis only for Word after all.

Thanks! : )

I would think you would be better off buying something already built. You would be lucky to build something even as good as you have linked for that price. A case and psu would take half the budget at least.

(And yes remove the competitor link)

Ask around friends/colleagues etc. for second hand machines.

It's impossible mate.

Try a well known auction site, though any pc for that price will be very slow...

iaind · 15 Mar 2009 at 21:34

Depends what you want to do with it I guess. I just lost an auction for a SFF dell optiplex, 3.06Ghz P4, 1gb ram and 40gb HDD. That'll be fine for day to day surfing, word processing and some older games - went for 55 quid i think

I'll ring you up a spec:

Pack of 10 pencils - £0.50
Pack of 1000 sheets of paper - £10
Subtotal - £9.13
VAT - £1.37
Total - £10.50

Well below your budget, should last you a while. You could purchase a sharpener, but a knife will do fine. It's passive cooling, no need for any fans or water, but best of all, it's FUTURE PROOF! And you will never have any driver issues!

I imagine you could buy an old IBM think pad R or T series for 50 odd quid, will run XP and word.

"andy" · 15 Mar 2009 at 21:48

theres probably some sort of pc recycling scheme in your town where you could get a simple machine for peanuts

siumatfung · 15 Mar 2009 at 22:27

actually if you look in the microwave classifieds u might find a good deal

b-star · 15 Mar 2009 at 22:30

I can sell u mine P3 (I think)

10GB HDD
P3 processor (Ithink)
motherboard
Ram... (two slots)
very bad case tho!!!

Perfect for budget, no jokes

Keyser Soze · 15 Mar 2009 at 22:40

^ don't think you can discuss this outside the MM.

might want to edit that.
