I'm sorry for the delay in replying but I've been in hospital for the past month, just out on christmas leave. I finally ordered a Precision 7510 Workstation, as recommended by a couple of people. It arrived with Ubuntu installed ( god I don't like Unity ) Over my christmas break I'll have a go at installing CentOS 7 and let ye know how I get on. Again thanks to everyone who took the time to reply, and have a Happy Christmas and a Merry New Year.
