Case: Lian-Li Aluminium ABX-951 Special Every Day Affordable Quality Edition - £28.70 Inc VAT
CPU: XC18650 3.2GHz 2666FSB 8 Core CPU - £193.74 Inc VAT
Mobo: ASUS iX25 BTX RT - £82.78 Inc VAT
RAM: 8GB (2x4GB sticks) PC21320 Corsair Domititan Magnetic RAM - £148.15 Inc VAT
Primary HD: 250GB Western Digital SATAIV 28800RPM Ultra Edition 256MB Cache - £52.40 Inc VAT
Secondary HD: 8TB Western Digital SATAIV 14400RPM Ultra Edition 256MB Cache - £272.99 Inc VAT
GPU: EVGA NVIDIA 9860GTS LP (low power) 25Watt - £225.11 Inc VAT
OS: Vista HP x64 - new affordable pricing by microsoft just the week before - £29.99 Inc VAT
PSU: You only need any old basic 200W power supply now thanks to the Enviromental Agency in January 2008 forcing Intel to lead the way in producing low power components. - £15 Inc VAT
TOTAL: £1050 Inc VAT so that leaves £350 to spend on other acessories... you could wait a couple more months for Samsung to release the SM-328BW 28" 0.2ms 6000:1 with the money left over!
