    Looks good enough to me, but can i suggest that you go from built in vga to a seperate one, just get the price down on the mobo and get a vga going.

    I do it sometimes too. You spend ages searching for something you know is/should be there, but you cant find it. Then you look again and see it instantly.


    cc rass, it's a PC for office usage, doesn't need a vid card. I don't see how they are "paying too much" for it when I'm paying exactly how much the components cost, plus a £40 build charge which is pretty cheap.

    The addition of Windows kills the price, and you don't need another cooler for the CPU, if you want a better one, then don't buy a retail chip. Oh, and you _really_ want 1GB RAM.

    Other than that, there's really not much can do to lower the price, does seem well suited for office use.

    Just that I've seen much better pc's put together for £450, that's without the OS and the build.

    I thought it was expensive compared to a 3GHz P4E, side window case + reasonable PSU, 1024mb Kingston, 120GB Seagate SATA Barracuda, Asus mobo w/onboard VGA that i built for around £300, giving it thought though, the screen and peripherals really do add up.

    With a 17" TFT screen? That makes up a good part of the cost.

    I'm going with the extra cooler for quietness, and unfortunately I can't get hold of a 2800+ OEM from the site I'm ordering from.
