    Spec Me - £700 ex VAT Work PC (Web Developer)

    Yeah, I don't require much space fortunately. Nice setup, thank you. Is there any reason not to go for a graphics card? Or it simply provides not advantage for my use-case?

    Last payslip Woes

    I've emailed them back with my math. I also found: http://www.i-resign.com/uk/financialcentre/holidaycalc.asp Though it doesn't include a worked bank holiday field, the calculation it's using is clearly the same as mine.

    Highest place you've been on

    Just under Kala Pattar 5545m. Made it most of the way before we had to take some Russian guy we found passed out down the hill before he died. Was part of an Everest Base Camp trek.

    Cheers guys, we're going with the £594 budget from Zak. He'll be running two monitors, think there's a need for a GFX card or from mobo should suffice?
