Everyone seems to reccommed building the PC yourself, but the closest I've got to this one is £100 more at Dabs.com

The specifications are as follows:

P4 2.66Ghz Processor
120gb Hard Drive
GeForce 4 Ti4200 128DDR
256mb DDR Memory (occupying 1 slot)
DVD Drive (16x40)
CDRW 40x16x40
Mouse
Keyboard
5.1 Soundcard
Onboard LAN Card and TV-Tuner (with time-delay software)
Comes with Firewire and USB2 ports.

All for £749. They are also offering a 19" monitor for £129.

If anyone knows where the components can be bought cheaper, I`m desperate to know, if not, I guess I`ll go out and buy one. For those interested, it goes on sale a week this Thursday.

A good price for a very good system. Especially if your not too confident in building your own.

Sounds good to me.

According to the advert I saw it goes on sale on Thurs 28th Nov. Not this week as stated by 0BaNaNa0.

There is a review in Computer Active and they gave it 4 out of 5 stars

They did say "Needs some extra outlay to complete the system"

Also

Flimsy front panel, needs more memory and no floppy drive

I think it looks nice with all the front connections
