Mate go here :

http://www1.euro.dell.com/content/to...hs1&~ck=anavml

enter the code NPUK5-D05E02 its a Business Machine, I ordered it got it delivered today.

Select Intel® Core™ 2 Duo E6420 Processor (2.13GHz, 1066MHz, 4MB)
Select Collect & Return, 1 Year Service only [subtract £146.87]
Select No Monitor [subtract £158.62]

Thats brings it down to £376.07. You can pick up a cheap 19" TFT for under a £100, also an extra 2gig will cost you £60 tops at Crucial instead of paying Dell £105.

got mines delivered this morning, the amount of shite that dell install on it is shocking, one programme that kept popping up was dell support, it was wanting to send info back.

im gonna wipe it and put XP on it, dont know if I wanna use Vista yet, its the Business Edition does not have Media Centre mind you.
