Im needing a new pc or a laptop.
Im thinking about going down the route of a media center and using my 42" lg lcd as the screen.

I don't like using my Media Centre as a PC. The screen is to big and i have to move my head to see it 
Wouldn't touch that with a barge pole either. The seller is using cheap parts 
I've got a hp dx7800 in the living room with a MS wireless keyboard and mouse. Have a Mini Mac in my bedroom which looks pretty. Having to use Boot Camp though as most my Train Signal and CBT Nuggets codecs only like Windows.

Have a look at what drunkenfool and others have brought recently.
Think it was called a media tank or something for about £300. Pretty sure that was the name....

Think they got a popcorn media centre (can't remember properly off the top of my head, comes highly recommended by them though)
Think that's specifically a media centre though and not sure you can use it as a proper PC, so depends on what Dan wants
