Get a Rocky Mountain ETSX, a mate of mine was running one for a while.

Check [url= http://www.merlincycles.co.uk/custom-mountain-bikes/rocky-mountain-bikes/rocky-mountain-etsx-custom-build.html ]here[/url] for a build, can't go wrong at the price.

...or an Anthem X that'll give you a bit more travel for your 'all day' riding? Get some adjustable forks on it (especially if you do what I did and buy a low end one for the frame and rebuild it). It'll see you down just about anything and should be tweakable (with tyres / pedals / forks) to race on too. Can't go far wrong.

Epic, Top Fuel, Anthem etc, go try a few and buy the one you like most. You'll be a bit over budget with the first two, but can prob find some deals.

How about this: http://www.cyclestore.co.uk/productDetails.asp?productID=21838

Admittedly you will want to upgrade a few components over time.
