20MB Hard Dive, John? *grin*

Buy second hand (used) is my best advise. Unless you're into high end video editing or gaming, you really don't need the latest spec.

I'm still running a P133 with 32Meg of RAM, it works fine for web browsing, office tasks, mp3s etc

You can get some fabulous bargains second hand. I just found a P3 550 with 256MB RAM and big HD for £200.
