    I can just about match that price, not really beat it to be honest. Dell have gotten their act together on prices. I would be able to beat their price for a higher spec machine ( yes, I know thats a fairly high spec machine anyway). I could build that machine with a tbird 1200 for roughly the same price, but dell have better prices on the intel chips than anyone else pretty much. I presume that £1400 includes vat

    Hey,
    thanks for the reply,
    The 1400 is without vat.

    I might push him towards getting an athlon alright.

    thx again
