Its not a bad price.

You could build it yourself from Ebuyer for £236 all in delivered.


Its a long way from being a Gaming Machine though. The mainboard is most likely the PC Chips 810LMR.

Its a cheap board but quite functional and fine of Internet, Office etc but for games, you could really do with a dedicated Graphics card (The board DOES have an AGP slot so you could upgrade later).

Thanks for the reply m8, i've not got a clue what i would need to order frim Ebuyer, anychance of emailing me a list of bits i would need?

thanks in adcance.

Okay, I'll list the quick find codes.

I chose a Nokia Style Case:http://www.ebuyer.com/product_images/products_107/product_21366.jpg

But you can chose your own for this.


COMPONENT / Quick Find Code


Case Nokia style / 21366

Lite-On 40x12x48 CDRW / 32443

40GB HDD / 30284

256Mb RAM / 20094

PC Chips Mobo / 27187

Cooler / 26560

AMD 1600XP / 29001



All comes to £236.32


I only included what was listed on the Micro site, Im assuming you have a floppy drive (and a CDROM/DVD wouldnt go amiss), keyboard, mouse speakers, monitor.

this would be a good little system to build if its your first, no jumpers (apart from Clear CMOS) and everything else in the box (Modem) so no compatibility issues with graphics cards etc.

Once you build it, you'll be bitten by the achievement bug and want to build more.
