    Ahh right I just thought you were on about the tilt function.

    Actually the Gigabyte looks so good at that price I just bought one

    May have bought one myself but I also have two MX1000 mice gathering dust at the moment! I got a Logitech LX710 desktop when Staples were selling them for £25 and started uing the included mouse instead!!

    I just nearly bought a 780G board which is selling at a sub £40 price.Luckily I didn't as I do not even have an AM2 processor and have a perfectly decent E4300 and 945G motherboard(you guessed it!) gathering dust also.I really need to stop some of these impromptu bargain basement purchases..... the cost of which seems to unnervingly add up!!

    I think I have gone slightly of topic here.... I think I will keep quiet now!!

    Leaving me with some room to pay for a timed delivery.

    I'm not sure if I'm blind, or just the only one not to notice so far but I don't see an OS on that list? Are you planning a free distro of Linux, or do you already have a retail copy of XP/Vista that you'll be able to use? Just something to keep in mind!

    I did mention it before. I assume that the OP probably has a copy of an OS to hand.

    Re: Budget Build: Advice Please.

    I've just built a system for a friend for £402.65, consisting of an E7300, 2GB RAM, 4850, 1TB HDD, DVD-RW and a Coolermaster Case/ PSU, so it gives you an idea of what you can get on a budget like that, although you need a monitor, so i'd stick with the build you have, unless you ebay'd some cheap speakers/monitor and kb/mouse

    It's 4.98*
