apologies for not returning sooner, I didnt have instant email notification turned on.

Thanks for the feedback - Ive managed to pull my mesh together one last time and its working fine for now.

Its got in it:
Mesh Case
AsusTek A8V Mobo (4 yrs old)
3500+ Athlon 64
7600GT
750 gb sata
1 dvd RW, 1 CD RW
Audigy 2ZA Pro Platinum withFront Panel
2 x 512 RAM (have ordered a 2GB kit though)

My monitor, keyboard, mouse extras are fine.

Tempted to either sell the entire system or use it as a spare to play aorund with and buy a whole new system.

Let me digest your comments so far but would be good to hear what you would do in my situation.
I dont think I want to be spending more than £1k for a new system.
