|530 (which wasn't much dearer) and that works just fine.

I think I'll be able to get hooked up for about £300 all in (512k, 50:1
with a 530) for the 9 or so months with Eclipse, which I'll be able
afford with a small job while I'm studying :)

Thanks for the help everyone, you've all been most helpful :)
