So, having sold my old PC to make some money 1 month ago... and doing a web design course at university... I figured I'd go hog wild and splash out on a new PC. One that'll last me at least until I finish my course.
Here's what I came up with:
Processor: Premium Chassis - Intel® 2 Quad-Core™ Processor Q6600 (2.40GHz, 1066MHz, 8MB cache)
OS: Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium - English
Monitor: Dell™ 19" Silver Wide Flat Panel (SE198WFP) - UK/Irish
Memory: 4096MB 667MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM [4x1024]
Hard Drive: 1TB Dual Hard Drive Non RAID (2x500GB - 7200rpm)
Graphics Card: 768MB nVidia® GeForce® 8800 GTX
Optical Drive: 16x DVD +/- RW Drive
Keyboard: Dell™ Enhanced USB Multimedia Keyboard - UK/Irish (QWERTY)
Mouse: Dell Optical Scroll Premium Mouse
Soundcard: Sound Blaster® X-Fi Xtreme Gamer PCI Soundcard
All this for £1139.01 (including VAT/Delivery).
A) Thoughts?
B) Can you top the specs for equal or less £££?
And yes, it is a Dell. But an XPS gaming machine at that.
