Ebay is knee deep in them John.
I bought a couple of Dell Optiplex USFF SX280 Desktops for servers/controllers a little while back and they have been very good.
Small format desktop which sometimes come with a mounting kit and fit on the back of a monitor. They are about 250 x 250 x 80mm
Make sure they are selling the PSU as well. This is external and essential to power the machine.
I've had one in the workshop for about a year now I think and no problems. Having an external PSU, there is less heat generated in the case and less airflow needed. Seems to cope with the slightly dusty atmosphere.

Do u have the software or do you need both the pc and the xp?
the reason I ask is that MS are getting more and more invasive about seeking out unlicensed XP via their use of a genuine xp validation check before some updates.

Are the 3 service packs still available online if u just get the XP on disk?

I have got a genuine XP and I downloaded the service 3 pack to a disk when it was available, dont know if that will still work. PM me if you have an offer.

Thanks Mr9, I was a little doubtful of ebay for such equipment, I suppose if I found a local one I could check it out on site perhaps.
