I have £400 of PC world vouchers to spend. My computer is decent enough. Its a dell with a pentium 3 processor and a 15" flat screen. Im not a computer buff but what would be worth spending my £400 quid on...
Suggestions please...

how come you have the vouchers?
I would spend the money on a few choice upgrades depending on the current system. Depending how far your money would go at PC world. Or maybe a nice surround sound system and a big screen

if you can only spend the vouchers in the shop, then maybe sell them on ebay and see how much you get? Then use the money and buy computer bits online?

i got them through work... Im sure they are DIXON vouchers which means i can spend them in Currys etc... but work are saying no... We'll see.....
I find the screen ok... i dont need a massive screen. an upgrade would be nice... but i have no clue what im looking for.......

get a western digital one... they look the best, lol.
benefits... well personally i wanna get one and put all my media on there (films / music / tv programmes / games) then you can just take that to another computer say round a mates or something and you have it all with you 
also if you reformat your pc, still got all your stuff safe!
