		<description><![CDATA[
I know, I know, it&#8217;s a bit bland. And it doesn&#8217;t have a monitor. And that chassis is mostly empty as it doesn&#8217;t really have much inside it. And it can&#8217;t keep up with the other PCs. And there&#8217;s actually nothing behind that little door on the front.
But my £250 PC &#8211; bought fully formed and totally [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, it’s done: over the weekend I bit the bullet and ordered my second-hand PC for the £250 Challenge. It’s a decent-looking machine, with a Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of RAM and a 19in TFT, which should make it a very viable desktop PC. Hopefully our dear editor Tim Danton will agree when he [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve somehow to come up with a PC that beats both of their efforts for no more than £250 inc VAT. But I&#8217;m restricted to buying mine directly from one of the shops lining both sides of Tottenham Court Road in London, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A blog comment from Sharpey made me think last night – every thought about my £250 PC has so far centred on a standard desktop machine. So why not ditch that and build a media centre instead?
The benefits seem numerous. Since the PC would be connected to a TV, I don’t have to bother with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’m used to seeing all manner of PC systems turn up the PC Pro Labs. Some cost £3,000, others cost £600, and some choose to include a full range of peripherals – whereas others are simply towers of power that leave you to fork out for the extras afterwards. It really is a study in [...]]]></description>

All phones off the hook, face-to-face conversation on hold; this is just me, my surfing skills and [...]]]></description>

Over the next week or two my colleagues and I will be doing our best to find (or assemble) a killer PC for no more than half a monkey. And my personal quest is to obtain a dream machine on the second-hand market.
