What thats all?

Any more comments suggestions....

I'm still indicisive about monitor...T240 is reviewed as a good TN monitor plus its a lot more cheaper than HP IPS panel one...

I mean im going to game a lot and mostly browse i-net...

Is it really worth buying the HP one over the T240?

icey you think it's worth buying HP LP2475w?

I will be gaming...will it be better than T240 or other TN panels?

I mean with the money saved from the HP i can get a decent keyboard and mouse along with a better grapchics card...Or the other way round? HP monitor but 4890 XT with a keyboard but mouse ......no money lol

tbh i'd stick with it as it is..to reiterate what's been said above, it's a very solid build..

with the monitors i'd stick to the samsung. They have a very good rep, the monitor itself looks very nice and you wont be set back another £200 pounds.
Judging monitor quality is perhaps the most subjective part of a PC. Someone may say that a monitor is amazing and another may come along and quite equally say that another, cheaper one, is better. Don't underestimate a good TN panel

You're spending nearly a hundred on a keyboard and a mouse. I would spend this getting a better cpu cooler, and a better motherboard. I don't understand spending that much on peripherals.

Hi Russu, I know I have said this to you before about getting the Dell 2209WA, but now its back in stock and only £200. Best option imho. The HP is lovely but its a lot of money, especially difficult to justify if you are on a budget.

If you are interested, this DVD drive is a better option.
