My mates looking to get a new computer built shortly and myself and one of his friends have both specced him up a computer not inc keyboard/mouse/monitor/speakers.

£144.47
Mobo : Asus A8N-E nForce4 Ultra (Socket 939) PCI-Express Motherboard (MB-088-AS)
£72.79
RAM : GeIL 1GB (2x512MB) PC3200 Value Dual Channel Kit CAS2.5 (GE1GB3200BHDC) (MY-005-GL)
£64.57
Case : Arctic Cooling T2 Silentium Silent Midi Tower Case - 450W Seasonic Silent PSU (CA-001-AR)
£58.69
GFX : PowerColor ATI Radeon X850 XT 256MB GDDR3 TV-Out/DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (GX-037-PC)
£146.82
HDD : Western Digital Caviar SE16 250GB 2500KS SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM (HD-046-WD)
£71.62
NEC ND4570 16x16 DVD±RW Dual Layer ReWriter (Beige) - OEM (CD-029-NE)
£29.32
Total : £588.28
Other mates spec :
Mainboard, 3200mhz 64bit processor and 1gb memory = £285
1 x Maxtor 250mb HDD = £68
Clear Side Case = £33.49
460 watt XPRO Heavy duty PSU = £42.89
Creative Soundblaster Audigy Sound = £40.00
Sony Floppy Drive = 7.00
Liteon DVD Writer = £31.00
256MB Graphics Card = £45.00 (I know no model name)
Internal Neon Light Tube = £6.00
Illuminated Case Fan = £4.95
TOTAL COST = £563.33
my mates mate seems to think his spec is somehow better because it's got a soundcard, and seems to think it's got a cheap case and a bad quality PSU, plus no lights? I lolled a little inside
thoughts?
