[Gllug] New PC/laptop without Windows preinstalled

> Why do you need specifically a brand name PC?

  I don't at all. I currently use an Advent PC as my main system,
and am more than happy to go with a good `local' manufacturer.

Both DNUK and NovaTech look pretty good to me, and ARmari
seems to be in the same league.

Price and spec wise I find these offering to be superioir to
the major brands. It was just that I didn't know about any
other than Advent and they seem to insist that one buy
their through Currys/PCWorld, where there seems to
be no chance of getting a clean PC.

That's interesting. I rang them up and `DOS Only' was not offerred.

Not that I am going to go with Dell after the choices above...

Thanks much for another good suggestion.
