Where to buy a cheap PC?

If I wanted to buy a cheap/second hand PC where can I go to get one today? I assume emit is no more?

Emit has moved to Blackburn on Burnley road near tesco's
or there is that shop in Darwen you got the laptop

Emit shop is run by the same guy that had it before and we have had a few items from him with a big discounts worth a look the pc's are a lot better than the old emit most of the stuff is new

Do any of the asain shops along blackburn road do pc's? I know they sell parts but not sure if they sell the full things.

Hyndburn used furniture store seem to have a lot in, they might be able to help, not sure of spec etc though, tsar_nate may be able to help on this one

my mate Kev swears by this shop, he goes there all the time, its really close to where we live, and dead cheap aparently, its a shop slap bang in the middle of a load of terraced houses, on the same block as the Hole House pub, its just by the zebra crossing just before you get to the turn for tesco, be careful not to miss it

Emit was closed so ended up getting a £50 bargain from Use-It in Rishton. Cheers for the suggestions....

It didn't look like they had any laptops at use-it, but the place in Darwen that mick recommends is definitely a good shop for second hand laptops.
