I suggest:

	mini-tower / half-tower
	AMD 4 core processor with virtualization facility
		(AMD are cheaper than Intel in Europe)
		(if buying Intel get the virtualization facility)
	8 GB RAM
	motherboard
		with PCI Express and 1 or 2 older pci slots
		4 SATA (and 2 PATA (ISA) for any old drives*)
		USB 2 or even USB 3
		Ethernet controller
		sound chips
	DVD writer
	500 GB SATA HDD
	HDD caddy for easy removal of the HDD

* Some ASRock motherboard have it

The cheapest source is likely to be found on-line by Googling or looking
at a major web buying site.

Good luck.
