As my desktop video card seems to be 'ill' - i thought i'd take a look at current prices of desktops.
Looking on ebuyer i was surprised how cheap they were - #144828. For just a plain desktop i was wondering if they were worth considering?

Alternatively [as i have a couple of cases] what would folk recommend for a ubuntu motherboard & cpu -- after all there are 000's.
thanks james

As mentioned in the cheap server thread, there's also: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/143780
I have just ordered one to play with (which should be with me tomorrow) so I'll report back what I find. It has the advantage of not including MS tax.
Hi,

Could buy a new graphics card. They're quite cheap nowadays.

And what is an Ubuntu motherboard?
Also. James, what should I have for dinner tonight? ;) You could suggest a dish, but you won't know my food preferences ;)
So really you're going about it the wrong way. What would you do with this new machine? Do you have specific requirements? And also how much do you want to spend?
If you're looking for general linux compatibility, there are a few websites that could help you out. There's one in particular that you might like, but I can't remember what it is - will have to dig it out of the bookmarks when I get home. It had subsystems listed and nice pie charts.
