Martijn,

You may care to have a look at ndc.co.uk. They sell DEll refurbished 
computers
and offer £15 discount for readers of "micromart". Just enter that as code.
I ordered a Dell Inspiron Mini 9 yesterday. It comes with Windows XP 1G RAM
and 8GB SSD Drive. The advertised price inc VAT is £179 less £15 +P&P.

They have plenty other PCs and laptops.
