    Nothing wrong with the 6600GT, but if you can wait a few weeks the new ATI cards might save you the £100 without reducing performance.

    Cheap = +2500XP-M (£65)
    Medium = +3000A64 (£95)

    Built a very nice Shuttle system using the Mobile chip and it runs uber cool in the small case. It used a N force 2 Mobo with duel PC3200. I had to put a FX5700LE in but stick a 9800 Pro in and it will be a fast small system. I build the system for £350

    SN45v2 (Silver Alu case and N-force 2 chipset)
    2x256mb generic PC 3200 (Dual DDR set-up)
    Seagate 7200rpm IDE Hard Drive
    Athlon XP +2500M (OC'ed to +3200XP<400FSB>)
    Samsung DVD-rom/CDRW IDE Drive (Black)
    9-1 Card reader with USB port (Black)
    Generic FX5700LE 128mb AGP card

    The 6800GT is £250+. Most models are the wrong side of £300. The X800 XL is supposed to come in at around £200, but the only one I've seen for pre-order (at Komplett) costs £265. Strret Price will depend on availability I expect. The 6600GT is around £130-£160.
