As the title says, PC without monitor for £600. This PC will be mainly for Web and Photoshop. Not games. Looking for around 2gb mem + a Core 2 chip but will look a AMD as well. Needs Ports at the front for memory cards as well. Any sugestions would be welcome.

Thanks

Core 2 chip and 2gb RAM as you wanted.

Ive specced a 7300GT so if you do want to do a bit of gaming you got a fairly decent card to do it on.

BUT if youre deffo not going to game you can change to mobo to one with onboard VGA and get a slightyl quicker CPU

We don't know what the OP's post said before the edit he made after CDj-Rossi posted.

The two rigs Meatloaf posted look just the kinda thing, tho maybe with the extra £60 on the bottom one you could add a bigger, cooler case or a nice Seagate 7200.10. Not sure how much HD space is an issue, or noise tho :)
 
I forgot to say thanks. Anyway, thanks for the quick replys. I had a simular spec in my head. I might go for a bigger HDD though.

Once again, thanks.
