are you wanting just the plain tower? If so then this would be ideal

could get even cheaper mobo and save £25 but this is decent quality new one

If it's for an office then he is best off with a pre-built system that comes with warranty.

for an office pc I wouldn't have chosen an overclocked system

It is the cheapest Though, could always go an extra £15 for THIS

I'd go for that one, but depending on price you could always buy an overclocked system or components and reset then to there stock settings.

Yeah but surly buying the pre-build systems for the inclusion on the warranty over a self build, If changing these setting, the warranty will be of no use.?

the chicken or the egg scenario.

warranty voided from oem or warranty voided from ocuk, either way in the latter instace you've probably lost both anyway.

A work based computer doesn't essentially need to be over clocked. We know the risks when we're gaming but gaming is a past time for the most of us, for nicl's dad I don't think he'd think the risk is worth it depending on the importance of the work he has stored on the system

either would be fine I would say! Why would warranty be voided if you returned settings to normal? Seems strange that if you up the anty and fry chip then fine but the other way?? Not sure about that BUT I am not 100%

tbh it shouldn't but intel, amd and even ocuk (other than on their systems) that warranty is voided if it's been overclocked, but saying that I don't believe the original components hold their individual warranty from an ocuk build.... could be wrong

but do you think the pc i configured i probably the cheapest one i could get for his needs.
