New Computer
Hello Techno nerds.
I need a new computer
2.8 gig min processor
80 gig min HD
512 memory
modem
Dvd re-writer (+&-)
seperate DvD drive
TV tuner
TFT monitor, 19" if poss
Where should I look and how much do you reckon?
Cheers
Chris
Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

If i were you I'd build it myself. I built mine with parts from www.ebuyer.co.uk and
www.overclockers.co.uk
The mental gymnastics a landlord will employ to justify immoral actions is clinically fascinating. Just because something is legal doesn't make
it moral.

This is the way for Locosters! I did this a few years ago. Read hardware reviews for best motherboard and CPU for my use, bought all the parts on
eBay and did it! Everything but monitor for less than US$300.
It's easy; the motherboard manual tells you how to build the whole thing

I get my bits from here Chris.

They've got a shop in Sheffield. They do build systems but it's easy enough to assemble your own. Mines very similar to what you just
quoted but it's a couple of years old now and only an amd 1800xp processor and a crt monitor. 19" TFT is going to bump it up by about
£400. £981.46 with the 19" monitor and XP3200+.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Thanks for the replys chaps If I were to build it myself, who would I punch in the face when it didn't work?
You didn't think that one through, did you?
Cheers
Chris
I think I'll go to the computer thingy with Charlie
