For just over £700 I bought a BRIOBA410 from Jungle (plus £10 for next day delivery). This is with:

* 56K PCI modem,

Advantages: All-in-one unit Disadvantages: Not a power PC
The HPBrio PC is great for office or home use, it comes with hardware addition you need to get going from square one. The price of the unit is very low in comparison to other units in the same class.

Overall though, this will last, especially with it's 3 year warranty, which is particularly rare for this price! ...
