Bad choice on the PSU, could have got better ram for cheaper, and I would have gotten a minimum of a 16MB cache HDD.

ty for the review.. live n learn i guess

at not much over £1000 though theres freedom for improvement

no need to get 2 optical drives, get just the one, you can still burn + copy stuff

my dad tends to wanna do things on the fly so i got two just incase, besides the dvd rom was only 25 quid.. but yeah ordinarily i wouldnt have bothered, hell the floppy disk is kinda pointless now too... but again, someone may need it.
