You could make one yourself, all the parts are the latest/current ones, but unless you know what you're doing it's a steep learning curve. HTH |

| 411674 | 2005-12-10 19:30:00 | $1,249.1798 at todays rate. I think thats reasonable considering it has some good quality brand parts. Especially the Corsair - thats expensive. The graphics card is on the lower end of what I'd install nowdays but it will run fine for those games, nothing wrong with it at all. |

| 411675 | 2005-12-10 22:44:00 | Thanks for the advice My Freind is one of them people who always need the best of everything, belive it or not he put this pc together 1 year ago apparently now is building a new one. Hes offered me this (no monitor) but he said it was worth more but i was just making sure i was not wasting my money my current pc has only ati 9600se with 512 mem and 2 ghz processor from time so as you can guess most of the parts are the cheapest and cant play the games i want. Anywayz i think you have made me make erm erm erm my mind up i think. Best Regards Barbara |

And I can understand his upgrading - I'd do it every year too if I could afford to...unfortunately I can't. :-( |

| 411679 | 2005-12-11 01:10:00 | I think the pound is worth about the same to someone in the UK as a dollar is to someone here. Which makes it a very good deal. | Graham L (2) | ||
| 411680 | 2005-12-11 02:36:00 | Thanks again for the advice, i think i may have to go with it then :) Thanks again |

| 411681 | 2005-12-11 03:16:00 | The conversation rate means nothing, What they sell for in that area is all that is relivant. Having said that, converted into how money its an alright purchase, not a rip off but not a great deal either. Needs a better video card to kick arse. |
