If the £549.95 HP P6512 isn’t an option for you when it comes to large capacity storage then you might want to take a look at the more reasonably priced Acer X3950 from Comet (link) for £499.99.

Still with the full 1TB of storage this PC comes with a Intel i3 processor and 4GB of RAM making it ideal for multitasking. The onboard graphics aren’t designed for gaming but are more than enough for HD video playback through the onboard HDMI port.
