Reasonable spec at a reasonable price and a pretty damn slow Graphics card. Barely faster than an X600 Pro.
That's £600, my PC was £1250, but would now cost about £1050 right?
it's the same CPU but less RAM so add £60 to make 2GB, now £660.
It's a cheapo graphics card worth about £40, so add £180 to get to the level of my card, that's £840.
Same storage as my big drive, but no raptor so add £75, that's £915.
A cheap case that would cost £20, so add £65 to reach the level of mine, that's £980.
Stock cooler so add £25, that's £1005
Standard OEM power supply so add £50, that's £1055
onboard audio so add £20, that's £1075
Obviously a standard PC won't have UV lighting, external S-ATA, a fan controller and all that, so add another £50, since that's what I paid. It will also have an OEM mobo, so add another £20 to reach the spec of mine, we're now at £1145.
By comparison, that system's £120 overpriced on my build, if you get what I mean...

Not a 7600Go I wouldn't have thought, but all of those bar the 7600 are lame cards, really.

That's a fair point, but do you understand my argument? £600 for that sort of system is quite a lot really, as would anything from PC world.

Lazl0, you just picked up a week vacation for that crap. If you can't come up with something intelligent and useful then don't post at all.

Sorry, comet! LOL I'm in dumbass-mode today! Yeah comet aren't too bad, but you'd still get a far better machine if you built it yourself. Let's try from the other way round, how much would it cost to make that system?

Only XP Home at the moment, I couldn't easily make boot floppies to run an <ahem, well enough said about that> copy of XP Pro since my old PC no longer has a floppy drive, the Qtec PSU toasted that. This new one does, but with my old decommissioned P3 in a state of operating system limbo (no certificate of authenticity!) that's also out of use, so I borrowed someone's XP home disc.

Are you kidding? That costs almost as much as my PC is worth and it still has that 7500LE!!!!! I know it comes with a 17" TFT, but they don't cost the difference between a 7500LE and an X1900XT, and in any case, it only has a D945 too. Bah! my X2 would handsomely beat a D945 any day.

There's probably not a lot in it, and I even run an appearance hack to make home look like media center (the start menu part).
That's an absurdly high price for an absurdly slow computer.

How does having a 600GB hard disk make it fast? It has a D945, that's not a very fast processor, yes it's a recent Presler revision, but an X2 will still kick its behind. The graphics card is unacceptable for a PC that price.
My £1250 unit (now worth a fair bit less) will mop the floor with that unit. So I have 300GB less HD space, that could be solved for £70, which would still make it £500 less than that PC is. A Bluray drive isn't worth paying that much for.
