How much they charging you?
Whats your budget?

£558 they are charnging me. It will also come with a dvd re-writer. XP Home edition will not be pre-installed. It will be pre-installed by me. Will I be able to order an OEM coppy if I'm buying a PC?

You could get a much better system for the money.
Whats your budget? Do you know how to build your own (everyone can follow a manual...are you just lazy)?

I don't know how to build a PC. I'm only 13. I don't really have a budget as I have to save up but yeah I would like to have a go at building one.

You're 13, a good time to start learning how to build your own computer! That's where the real fun is

Is it easy to make?

There are tons of guides on the web for it. You also get manuals with each bit of kit showing and telling you how to install it.
