Recommend me a computer please..

Don't know a lot about them so don't go technical. Just give me a rough desc. and price.

Am after something relatively cheap, that has a built in modem (quick one) and dvd drive. Would like it to be quick and have some good features. Oh and I'm only after the hard drive, already have a decent moniter and keyboard.

Define "cheap", and what you want to do with the computer...

Do you want it just for word-processing, basic internet-usage, and the odd game, or for hardcore-gaming, or for detailed CAD or similar?

Will spec you up a price for parts that you could order, if you give me a rough price-range and usage-requirements to work with!

I'd use it occasionally for word processing and spreadsheets etc.. generally just want fast internet usage. Wouldn't be playing games on it. Just something basic.
