Meant nothing to me lol
But the price looks extortianate (sp) lol

[Reggie]

More money than sense


Are you actually going to push the PC that far so it reaches it potential?
Like 2TB of space!?

[Puntoboy]

2TB mirrored so full redundancy. So I'll only have 1TB of space.

I'm going to use the graphics for gaming, video editing, HDTV output.

Your gonna have to do alot of wanking to get your moneys worth

[CaL]

No you're not mad.

You're a geek

[PuntoSporting]

Over £200 for a case? Are you mad?

I built myself a nice gaming PC including a 22" widescreen monitor that totalled £501 at new year!

Probably not as high spec as what you're looking for but i just couldnt justify spending the kind of money you are unless it was for business purposes and would help pay for itself.

But just realised, you're spending a fortune on everything, but only £50 on a mobo? The Corsair Ram is good though, thats what I bought as well, but only 2 x 1Gb.

[pingu]

i can ask chew if he can get all the stuff cheap too if you want chris as he works for an it maintanence firm

A geek for wanting a decent PC? Hmmm ok...?

I'm also going to be using the system for VMWare as I'll be training for some up coming work.

I'm having a rethink on some of the components, like the case and graphics card, so that should bring the price down a fair bit.

No worries mate. I can get them cheap enough. Cheers.
