Laptop for a friend

Hey,

Could someone help me out here :P, I need to find a cheapish laptop for my friend that he can use to take to school and use for school work, browsing the web etc, he would also like to play a few older games on it like GTA Vice City, GTA 3, Halo, Quake 3.

Probably around £350ish? It doesn't need to be uber great, the graphics don't need to be fantastic to run those old games either.
