No problem Chris, your money, your choice.

I'm in the same situation as you. In the market for a new p.c and can't be bothered building this time around (considering all the recent problems I've had). Does get a bit tedious having to rebuild when you've just got it all working as you want.

Yes. The one I have got ATM is an Asus P4P800eDuluxe, P4 Pentium 3ghz, 7800GS 512mb AGP, XMeridian 7.1 to Onkyo605 Rxer. Built it up over a period of a couple of years. It runs 2142 with no probs, but some games are a bit slidy-showy! Ill stick this one on Network I think.

heres what i came up with:
vista home premium 32bit(not much is compatible with 64bit) £ 70
Asus P5n-e sli £ 70
Inovasion 8800 GTS 320mb £170
Intel Q6600 £170
OCZ 2GB 667Mhz "Special Ops" £ 55
Samsung 500gb £ 55
Artic Power 600w PSU £ 30

Hmm, interesting specs there mate. Couple of probs: Cannot go a penny over 600 quid and want a case as Im putting this old one on Network. But very impressive for the money..
