There be some good ones within the refurbs section at PC World. Someone on here pointed me in that direction when my sister was after one. She got a bargain. Tesco Direct seem good as well.

What were you after? If you just need something to play granny's secret garden or whatever it's called, i've got a shitty old acer you can probably have for a few quid.

It's gone out of use because it doesn't have wireless and the PCMCIA wireless card it uses doesn't support WPA! It's 15.1", CDRW, 256DDR, 40GB 1.8 Celeron and a moody copy of 'dows XP. It was my little sisters and she should have been employed by an anti-virus company to test viruses and spyware.

Here's what I'd do Barry. Upgrade the wireless card to one that supports WPA( I have a Linksys one hanging about if you fancy it, you pay postage) Upgrade the ram to 1gb and then have some fun sticking this on it

http://www.ubuntu.com/

If it's a dvd rom/cdrw you could even try this

http://ultimateedition.info/

Both are free and relatively hard to get virus's on, then she could have it back

One more thing if you can get it online via ethernet this will tell you the correct memeory to get and a price(write down the details and then hunt on fleabay)
