    You can often get some bargains.

    Although it looks like they've revamped the website - it used to be a nice straightforward list of stuff.
    I hate it when sites that are simple are "upgraded" and are actually downgraded to become more complex.

    Where's the best place to source something reliable. Don't need hi spec.

    TIA
    You don't say which Windows version, do you want to keep the same as he already had? That'll determine the spec.

    If you're happy with used kit then I'd look at ex-corporate refurb. Dell/HP business models from yesteryear. Typically £100-£200 for a core 2 duo 3GHz with warranty of some description. Find an outfit that does this operating clearly as a business though, e.g. with premises, ideally local.
