Thanks to all of you who've provided suggestions. I now have the basis 
for further research - Aria, DN UK and PC specialist look likely 
candidates. I am rather wary of going the build it yourself route, 
because of concerns about making sure the CPU is adequately cooled - I'd 
much rather leave the attachment of the heatsink to a professional! 
Juggling cards is a different story, though - I'm quite happy with that...
