Sorry, yet another spec thread!

Putting together my own ideas, but would like some input on what you think I should get for my 800 squids.

Base unit and TFT needed, both for gaming.

Cheers!

hows that?

a bit more money and you could have an X1800XT to make it into a proper gaming system... or you could make it into a dual core beast.

as its gaming though id reccomend a bit more money on the graphics card.

i have selected decent case/PSU and monitor as these are the bits that generally will outlast everything else and are worth spending a bit extra on. monitor has DVI connections, PSU is pretty powerful and case looks smart. :)

hard drive is a decent brand and performer too.
 
Cheers for that, any opinions on the following (slightly over budget)...
