Hello all, I'm looking for either a DIY kit with instructions, a laptop I can upgrade or a really cheap pre-built one.

1. What is your budget?
I'm looking for anything under £300 (which is about 500$)

2. What is the size of the notebook that you are considering?
Not bothered as long as it's not ridiculously small.

3. What screen resolution do you want?
HD would be nice but if I can't have HD then the closest would be good.

4. Do you need a portable or desktop replacement laptop?
More desktop/replacement but a bit of portability would be nice.

5. How much battery life do you need?
A couple or so hours (2/3) for school work but battery life for gaming isn't really a problem since i'll be gaming at home.

Minecraft and Team Fortress 2 pretty much.

7. What other tasks do you want to do with your laptop? (Photo/Video editing, Etc.)
Must be able to run Photoshop CS2, Gimp and Inkscape.

As much as it allows me to game/graphic design comfortably.

9. If you are considering specific sites to buy from, please post their links.
I don't mind but I prefer ebay.

10. How long do you want to keep your laptop?
2 Years or longer but being upgradable would be nice so I can keep it up to date.

No preference.

12. Please tell us about the brands that you prefer to buy from them and the brands that you don't like and explain the reasons.
