    At that end of the market it's going to be hard to compete with the big names. I'd look at what you can get from Dell and the like.
    Society's to blame,
    Or possibly Atari.

    Take a look at Insight too (www.insight.com/uk). You can get an HP PC and monitor for that kind of money.

    Re: Home office computer build

    if your going to build it yourself probably best going AMD and getting a 785G motherboard with a Athlon X4 processor and stick 4GB of RAM in it. Then the case etc can be up to your own preference
    Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
    CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
    TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    Aye. How about one of the new budget quads from AMD ?
