yes it looks a little too good for a child, but my Sister and her husband may use it too.

will be collecting the bits sometime this week, and will add a build log in this thread.

im only joking :). i like acting like sum of the ppl on here it makes me laugh at myself.

It gets worse.

my Brother wanted me to put a graphics card in to it too.

was going to spec a Tri-core, but after showing my Sister the Anandtech bench comparision between the two CPU's and the £7 difference, she was like "do it"
 
Hey Stulid, sounds like a very decent build for the price!

(Where on earth did you get those prices from - feel free to trust me :p)
