I also stumbled across this one, it seems to be very good.

Any thoughts?

Hi Jack,
I have found a place which will do the same specs for £947, including delivery and VAT. It's from PC Specialist, which I have bought my PC from them 2 years ago and I was very happy with their service.
www.pcspecialist.co.uk (there are other companies who do the same so why not check them out as well)
The website lets you to custom-build your PC by adding a few things and allows you to see how much it would cost you.
The only thing which is different from your HP computer is the graphic card. I couldn't see the 1.5Gb GT230 graphic card from the drop-down menu list, so I chose 1Gb GT240 graphic card instead. I have also not included wireless keyboard and mouse as I don't know if you would still want to keep your old keyboard and mouse.
Here is my result based on HP specifications as close as possible:
