If all you're after is something for email and the web, then something for UKP300-400 should be ample. A refurb shop like Morgans would probably be the best place to look. One key thing to remember is that you really don't need to be getting one of the latest OSes along with a current mailclient and browser, quite the opposite if anything, this will shave a lot of the minimum spec of the machine.

They have some pretty cheap systems (e.g. Athlon 1Ghz, 128Mb RAM, 20Gb Hard Disk for £279+VAT). This doesn't include a monitor, but I guess you'll already have one of those.
I'm not sure whether they only sell to businesses though...
