Right, not going to beat around the bush, 200 quid, basic uni work, bit of programming + Adobe. Just base unit. Any ideas?

Not sure what is best in this price range - Barebones systems? E2180?

Thanks in advance.

You'll be lucky! Hope you got an OS.

Primo Lite" Intel Pentium Dual-Core 2180 2.00GHz SILENT DDR2 System

Or this little sex machine (has OS with it):

Asus Eee Box EBXB202-BLK Atom N270 1.6GHz - Black Full System

TBH for £200 you cant get anything other that ****
For £300 though you could get something pretty decent epiclly if you go amd.

or you could go for this.

barebone

cpu

hdd

ram

Total £199!

If you dont have an os get ubuntu & open office
