It's not for gaming or anything like that. Purely for internet, Itunes & maybe a bit of downloading

DVD drive would be handy
Fair bit of memory, but nothing stupid. More space you have the more crap you keep!

Would need a case too, pref something black & shiny to match my PS3/TV/stand etc

What am I looking at money wise? Not clued up at all! Remember it's only basic stuff I need, as long as it's fast on the net I'll be happy

Just get a Dell or an HP o something if you don't really have any specific requirements

You don't need to go crazy on the hard drive but I would always recommend plenty of RAM. I'm running 2Gb. Its cheap enough.

Agreed, just get Dell. No point spending ages shopping around for components TBH.
