yea one of the cheap Dells should do it.. youll get a flat screen and all.. 600 - 700 quid will cover what you want it to do.. as long as you dont want to play any new games etc..

If you dont want anything even average in the games department then you could pick up a cheap dell for less than €500!!!

They said they want to play a few games on it though, so it's gonna need at least an X300 or a 6200. Intel GMA just doesnt play anytihng.
