have you thought about just building your own?
I'm very happy to unscrew and plug things in/out. I've done RAM upgrades
and HDD replacements.
Simple stuff like that.
But the prospects of 'thermal grease/paste' and 'bent pins' WRT to
processor + mobo + heat sink scares me tbh.
Is it possible to get that bit done for me, then do the rest myself?
Seems to me if I want that bit done, I might as well outsource the rest
too...

Funny you should ask... Aria.co.uk have a Pentium Dual-Core E5700 (3GHz
dual core CPU) kit consisting of CPU pre-overclocked to 3.8Ghz (it's
just a BIOS setting) and motherboard with 2GB Ram and a CPU cooler for
£140 inc VAT.

(if the link doesn't work it's quick code 43779).
Or if you want something already in a case you could opt for one of
their bare bones systems such as this Athlon II X3 450 (3.2GHz triple
core) with NVidia nForce 430 chipset with onboard graphics and 2GB Ram
for £150 inc VAT.
