    Whats your budget? What do you want to do with it?

    Does it have to be from PCWorld?

    Dell. Cheap, cheerful, good value for money. (Provided you're not wanting a gaming machine).

    Have you thought about building your own? It's a lot cheaper, and a good experience. :)

    Evesham & Dell seconded.

    Also consider anything A-Listed or recommended in PC-Pro, such as Mesh, Hi Grade etc...

    Scan are good also. They build some nice systems to your own spec.

    Mesh, from personal experience, good quality components at a good price and a good, tidy build.

    I thought Time went bust?
    If they are still around, I'd avoid them like the plague - I've lost count of the number of times I've heard bad things about them (they appeared on 'Watchdog' god-know how many times).

    I'd go with Dell, Evesham or Scan if I were you. Steer clear of PC World, they're a bunch of monkeys!
