Hey guys.

I'm after a new computer for upstairs living area (currently my computer is downstairs in the dungeon), for the kids to use (and of course I might use it too).

I'm after some advice as to what computer to get, and how much it's likely to cost..

The computer will be used for:
- internet
- email
- games
- cd/dvd burning
- photo printing

The games may include some 3d fps games, but i'm not after a top of the line computer with the latest and greatest video card. The kids are still too young to get into that sort of online gaming at this stage, and I want to keep the cost down.

I'll want something like:
. > 2000 or 3000 mhz
. >= 256M RAM
. CDRW
. DVDRW
. lan card for networking and adsl modem

I don't necessarily need a monitor, already have an old 15" downstairs.

Do you have any recommendations of "kits/bundles" which are on sale anywhere at the moment, or recommendations on the individual bits as i'm not afraid to build it from components.

Thanks
