which computer to buy?

My brother is looking for a computer. He only needs it for his work, internet, occasionally burning cd's. Nothing that requires a "big machine". Something like pentium 3 and 20Gb should be enough. What brand would be a good choice for a simple, cheap and reliable pc? And are there any that should be avoided?

HP (Hewlard Packard) or Compaq

HP (Hewlard Packard) at your local Wal Mart ;)
If you can find a Compaq for the same price, then go with Compaq because the cases are larger and easier to do upgrading (memory, processor, hd) :D

Wait till MEDION are doing comps again in ALDI fab deals at fab prices. Thats where I got my P4 2Ghz. 80gig, GeF4 460MX for £699. (Without monitor, but I got a Medion 17" for £99 too) and I have had probs yes, but sorted out very quickly. Cant praise them enough.

By the way - after I checked around for what I thought may be the makers of the monitor, and I reckon it was an Iiyama.
