Question New PC Needed for my Kids Any Help on Make/Spec?

My kids need a new PC (Old one just died).
Need it for Homework/Web/Email/ITunes. Looking at spending approx £400.
Needs to have a 15" LCD appart from that what do you recommend?

Another vote for Dell.

Only thing where you can get stung is where you start to select lots of options. Dell's options are very expensive normally. Try and find a machine where the standard spec has what you want.

Or mesh computers, they do some good deals - try and get it with 512Mb ram, makes life so much easier under WinXP.
