To give you useful information, I really need to know where in the world
you are.

I have had http://www.tier1online.com/ recommended to me. They do
refurbished business computers (desktop and laptop). They are very much
Windows oriented. As they are business oriented they tend to have
integrated Intel graphics. They are not as fast as NVidia graphics but, in
my experience, are a lot more stable and reliable. And the hardware is
typically robust.

Dell and Amazon do refurbished computers. Go to the relevant websites for
you and take a look.

Go to Google, search for some kind of computer  e.g. "refurbished desktops"
and take it from there. I would recommend getting a 64 bit processor with
plenty of RAM (at least 2GB) for something that's going to be useful for a
while:)

HTH,


Ian
