Just wodnering what i can get, i was looking at getting roughly these specs, 2gb ram 1.6Ghz + dual core 8600GT 100gb hardrive+ Was pondering over the dell vostro 1700 with similar specs but it would be kind of heavy with a 17" and it seems more expensive with the smaller vostro 1500. Was just wondering if you guys have any ideas at all. Help would be much apreciated. ive got £500 to spend though could push if i really liked it too £550 Thanks for the help.

I've gone for the vostro 1700 waiting for dell to build and send it to me. only downside I see is that is is heavier than others. I only paid £533 for mine.
