oh and btw, i didnt have enough for xp, so linux all teh way

jessy

neon_glows do you have your own company and can claim the vat back or something cos you didnt include vat in your prices.

In your own words you said you want a "really hi spec" machine, Then check the Ram, and Graphics card, and why 2 DVDRW if your on a budget?

what you really need to look at before you spend mony on modding is

1) Motherbaord (i would say get a new socket,775 or 939)
2) Cpu is really down to personal choice, if your a gamer then AMD or if you do video/audio editing then P4
3) the RAM you choise is PC2700 which is Kind of slow and is not "really hi spec"
4) Gfx Card, most important thing if your a gammer(dont get cheap here).
5) Psu is really important espesially if you OC.
