32in television *and* PC - just £209
If you're the kind of person who's comfortable putting a PC together from parts then this is a fantastic deal. If you're not so handy with a screwdriver, though, it's one to avoid.
The product on offer here is a 32in television screen that's built to house a Micro ATX PC - you'll need to add the motherboard, processor and memory into the back yourself. Once this is done, and after adding a copy of Windows, you'll be able to watch television, as well as anything else you could view on a PC - Youtube, downloaded videos, DVDs and so on.
The downside is that, without the PC parts, the screen itself won't do anything at all. But then the price is something of a bargain - just £209. Click the jump for details.
To buy this rather nifty PC product for just £209, click here. Do remember, though, that it's useless without the PC parts required to complete assembly.
Desktop PC for under £150
Computer prices get lower and lower every day, but you'd be hard pressed to find many complete desktop PCs for under £150. Today, though, we've found just that: an IBM desktop computer, with screen, for £149.
This ThinkCenter M51 has a 3.2GHz Pentium 4 Processor, 512MB of memory and a DVD drive. A copy of Windows XP Professional is installed. As you might have guessed from the price these systems aren't brand new - we strongly suspect the previous owner will have been a company that has just upgraded its network of computers. Still, at this price they're something of a bargain. Click the jump for details.

Small, dual-core PC, just £250 - Save £50!
Desktop PCs are powerful and inexpensive, but most are also huge, and not everybody has the room for a huge plastic monolith under their desk.
One solution is to buy a laptop, but these are usually far more expensive, less powerful and less comfortable to work on for long periods of time. For the best of both worlds you need a small desktop computer - and here's one at a low price.
Today we've found and Acer Aspire X1300 Small Form Factor (that's jargon-speak for "small") desktop PC for just £250. It has a dual core processor, 2GB of memory and a 320GB hard disk, and can be upgraded to Windows 7. And, of course, there's a decent discount: £50 off the list price. Click the jump for details.

Dell Windows XP PC with monitor for £90

Cheap dual-core Dell desktop - just £309
If you're on the lookout for powerful desktop PC at a low price, this could be just the ticket. We've found a bargain deal on Dell Inspiron 545 desktop computers that come complete with a three year warranty.
The model on offer is an Inspiron 545 desktop - not a complete system, just the main computer unit, so it's an ideal way to upgrade an older desktop computer. This model has a great specification for everyday computing, with Intel's insanely good-value E5200 dual-core processor (using Core 2 architecture), 2GB of memory, a 250GB hard disk and a DVD burner. Plus you get the aforementioned three-year warranty, which gives you in-home support including evenings and Saturdays. Click the jump for information on where to buy.

Dual Core Desktop PC - just £220
Here's a bargain that should suit anyone looking for a new computer: a powerful ready-built desktop computer at a bargain price. This PC includes a dual-core Intel processor, a massive 4GB of memory and a huge 750gb hard disk, but costs just a snip over £200 - so why so cheap?
Well, two reasons. Firstly there's no monitor included, so you'll need to pick one up separately (keep an eye out here for bargains, as we've found some really huge screens for around £100 lately), or simply use the one provided with an older computer. Secondly, and more unusually, there's no operating system installed. You could add a copy of Windows 7 when it's released, for example, or for a completely free alternative stick on a copy of Ubuntu Linux for a super-fast computer that doesn't need any extra security software. Find out where to pick up this powerful computer after the jump.

Mini Acer Desktop PC - Save £50, now £180!
Unless you've been hiding under the world's largest metaphorical rock (hint: that's a large rock) for the last year or two, you've probably noticed a rash of "netbook" computers: small, simple laptops that are great for use on the move. In fact, if you're on the lookout for a low cost computer you've probably taken a good look at several netbooks by now - but what if you just can't get on with the tiny screen and keyboard that they use? If you'll be working at a desk, a desktop computer would be a far more comfortable option.
So called net-top computers like this Acer Veriton give you all the benefits of a netbook - a super low price, very little noise and no huge great PC to hide under a desk, with enough processing power to surf the web and create documents - but are designed to work with a proper monitor, mouse and keyboard. The Veriton is tiny, and can even be fitted onto the back of a monitor. And today we've found one selling at a £50 discount - click the jump for details.
To pick up the Veriton for just £180 - that's a £50 discount, and with free postage included - click here.
Tiny HP Pavilion Slimline PC - now just £370
If you want to use a computer for long periods of time then nothing beats a desktop PC with a proper keyboard, mouse and display - but for many people the downside is the huge PC case that needs to be hidden away under a desk. One solution is to buy a small slimline desktop computer, but as these are usually made for businesses the prices are high.
Today, though, we've found a small desktop computer at a great price. The HP Pavilion Slimline is a powerful computer with a Core 2 Duo processor, 3GB of memory, a 500GB hard disk and a DVD writer, but all this high technology is packed into a tiny case that takes up hardly any room. And at £370, it's cheaper than most normally-sized computers. Click the jump to buy one.
To pick up a Pavilion Slimline PC at this low price, click here. Note that these computers are refurbished, but they come with a one-year collect and return warranty.

Quad Core Blu-ray Desktop for £460
Over the last few years more and more companies have shifted from selling desktop PCs to notebooks, and then even on to the low-power, low cost computers known as netbooks. But while both notebooks and netbooks have their place, for many people there's no substitute for a desktop computer.
Desktop computers have loads of advantages over more portable systems. They offer the latest technology, the most power, keener prices and, perhaps best of all, the option of upgrading almost any part in future to keep up with the latest technologies.
Today we've found a hugely powerful desktop PC at a surprisingly low price. This Medion computer uses an Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 processor, with four cores running at 2.4GHz, and has 3GB of memory and one Terabyte of hard disk storage. It has a Blu-ray drive, so you can watch the latest movies in high definition, and with a Freeview TV tuner and Windows Vista Home Premium installed you can use Media Center to watch, record and timeshift TV programmes. No monitor is included, making it an ideal upgrade for an older computer system - or you could pick up a 22 inch widescreen to go with it for under £110.
You might have expected a PC with this much power to cost a fortune, but in fact we've found a specialist selling reconditioned models for just £460. Click the jump for details.

Asus Nvidia 512MB graphics card for just £37.36!
Graphics cards used to be scary things that cost hundreds of pounds, but over the last few years prices of mid-range cards have dropped quite sharply. This Asus EN9600 GSO card is a case in point: it's not a high-end device but it will work happily with most recent games at high detail settings.
It uses the Nvidia 9600 GSO chipset and has 512MB of memory, making it suitable for most gaming and, of course, for desktop tasks such as video editing. It has two DVI outputs so it can be connected to one or two desktop monitors or even (using an adaptor) a flat-panel television. At just over £37 it won't break the bank either, making it an excellent inexpensive upgrade for most desktop computers.

Two terabytes of external storage for only £124
Computer storage is very cheap these days, and there are bargains to be had. One excellent deal is this Iomega USB hard disk, which can store two terabytes (2TB) of your music, photos, videos or in fact anything else. At £124, from Pixmania, it's around £50 cheaper than we've seen it elsewhere, and it's around half the price of many similar disks.
It uses two 1TB disks, so it's a little bigger than some smaller-capacity disks, but it's still an impressive size for the amount it can store. The disks are the faster 7200rpm variety, which means high speed transfers of your data over the USB2 connection. It works with PCs, Macs and Linux computers.

Desktop PCs from £133, Gaming PC for £380
Whether you're looking for a simple desktop PC for everyday tasks or a powerful machine ready to wrangle with games and video recoding, we've found a bargain for you today.
Starting at the lower end, the PC shown here has an Intel Celeron D processor, 512MB of memory, an 80GB hard disk and runs Windows Vista - not particularly powerful, but then at £133 it's far cheaper than your average Atom-powered netbook. If you're looking to replace an ageing PC it could be perfect, and with a large hard disk added it could make a great home server too.
If you're looking for something with a bit more oomph, consider this: a desktop with a Core 2 Duo E6750 processor, 2GB of RAM, a 320GB hard disk and an nVidia GeForce 8600GTS graphics card - all for £379 including a warranty. Click the jump to find out where.
Both desktops are available from PC Nextday, but get there quick: the more powerful PC is an ex-demonstration unit, so there's only one available at this price. For the low cost desktop click here, or for the Core 2 Duo model click here.
