    Dell 2405FPW for £602 is the most I've spent on a single part. And worth every penny.

    About a grand for a full system from the late lamented Panrix; PII 350, 128MB RAM, Supermicro P6SB MB, Diamond Viper V550 graphics (that's a Riva TNT to you...), 30GB hard disk (look, that was pretty damned big at the time...)... Look, it was quick at the time, OK?

    I think my brother's friend bought a CD Rom and Soundblaster for around £400 or around £600.

    My brother bought these off him later at reduced price.
