The title says it all really... Doesn't need any bells or whistles, Office would be a big bonus, already have a monitor but will consider a bundle (but would prefer a printer) - and yes, its got to be from the high street as I'll be going out with her on the 20th to buy it and setup it up for her birthday... |

Any, I've TCR, but my Mum (in MK) doesn't. I'm talking Dixons, PC World, Tescos, Aldi, etc... |

Couldn't you order one from yoyotech or scan and get it delivered to her? Or buy her a laptop instead. |

Yeah, I hate to not be helpful, but I'm not sure any of us will be in a position to recommend anything from the highstreet. I would look at dell.co.uk/outlet for cheap PCs for people that don't care. Dell are usually pretty quiet too, as they only have one fan for everything. |

Wooooah! I'm not buying it!     I've looked at some of the sub £400 machines on Scan, and perused Dell & Mesh, but despite my assurances she doesn't have much faith in online shopping - she likes a good haggle, and likes to be able to take things back the second they break - and I can understand that. She's not fussed on a laptop either - although I think she'd enjoy sitting in her conservatory browsing away... Still, appreciated you lot aren't going to be keeping tabs on the chain shop's offers, so I guess I should rephrase the enquiry. What should I expect to get for £4-500 these days? What's CPU range will I be looking at? Amount of memory? Integrated graphics seem an obvious route, but does Windows 7 need a bit more grunt for all its prettification? etc |

I find it difficult to get over my issues with HP and PC World, but yeah, reasonably good value. |

Aye, I don't think anyone should be going the Sandy route until the recall issue has been sorted. |

I've seen all sorts of unlikely deals with Tesco and Argos recently (Argos are giving away 'cover' on some options)
