Well by the sounds of it, its ok, space wise and ram etc is pretty standard, however it only has a 15 inch monitor, in my opinion it would be as cheap or cheaper to get a computer on hire /purchase, type thing, i wouldnt go for it anyway

well all u need then to upgrade is a new m bord £100 around a chip { most expensive }£200-900 case £50 you should have a mouse keybord and screen floppy drive you have a sound card and a graphics card . you will need ram now that i think of it £100 for 64 i think thats the price and if your hd is smaller then 3gb id recomend getting a larger one . you can get a 8gb from peats for 145. so totaling cost is at min that is £600 how mutch is esats one ??? well id upgrade by building it myself and indeed ill do that in id say 3 weeks should have me new one .
