Hi Andy, wellcome to the forum. With your budget and modest size requirements I think you have a good chance of buying something, especially if you go down the nearly new route. You will get many suggestions that it would be better to build your own - take a look at some build logs. if you feel that you do not have the time or skills to build your own you may even be able to persuade one of our more experienced members to build a purpose made machine for you!!! - it's worth a try. Good luck with whatever you decide, I am sure you will get lots of help and encouragement here. G
