Can i have your views on this PC? Especially UrbanFox's

AMD Athlon XP 3200+ 400FSB
Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
512MB DDR400 (PC3200) Memory
160GB 7200rpm HDD
nVIDIA GeForce 5900XT 128MB DDR
Hyundai ImageQuest Q770S 17'' Perfectly Flat CRT Monitor - Black/Silver
8x DVD±R/DVD±RW Dual Layer (also acts as CDRW)
6 Channel on board audio
VideoLogic ZXR-550 5.1 Speakers
Internet Ready V.92 56Kbps data/fax/voice modem -- SEE THE PS
Network Ready integrated 10/100 Ethernet
Internet Keyboard and Optical Mouse
Midi Tower Case/6 USBs + Front Audio
Ability Office Software

I'm getting an upgrade for it which gives an extra 512mb memory.

Getting to a total of £768.99 .

DO you think this is a good price for this computer?

If you can find better please tell me.

Yes - it is possible.

Not sure about the comp. It has an above average quality to cost factor in my opinion and 2 sticks of 512mb ddr ram would be nice. A huge harddrive is a goody for your pr0n (don't you deny it ^^) The geforced card is nifty and would cost about a 1/4 of the package alone (150 quid or so i think).
The only thing I've noticed which is wrong with that package is no fans?

Southern California, USA, North America, Earth
AMD Athlon XP 3200+ 400FSB
512MB DDR400 (PC3200) Memory
nVIDIA GeForce 5900XT 128MB DDR

The cpu is a little outdated and doesn't stand up to today's processors. The memory should have tight timings, didn't post details so I'm not sure. The video card sucks to todays cards, but for that price rangs it is descent.


The following system you can get for 800 (that includes VAT and shipping but NO OPERATING SYSTEM)

A64 3200+ NC 2.2ghz
MSI K8N NEO Platinum Motherboard
2x512mb corsair 3200XL 2-2-2-5
Maxtor 200gb SATA 8MB 7,200RPM
12x DVD+R burner
ATI 9800 Pro 128mb
Samsung 17" monitor
Creative 5.1 sound system
Midtower case w/350w PSU

Basically, the system above's cpu makes the one you posted eat ****, same for videocard and ram. The harddrive is bigger and faster, same for DVD burner. In a nutshell, this kicks the other system's ass. Only drawback is that its 30 more (a hell of a lot more performance for 30 more) and it has NO O/S (piracy is bad

Yeah, lot's of sites don't take them because they're not really MAJOR credit cards, (They are debit cards) Except Switch, which is the joker in the pack.
