Ok guys, I'm feeling the need for a little spending spree & have lost the plot with all the new technologys about, currently have a A643000+ skt 754, MSI K8neo Platinum mb, 1gb Geil ram, several hdd's (1 being WD Sata 80gig), x800pro, Antec case with Truepower PSU, all of which have served me well for the last couple of years.

Could someone please spec me up a Rig with a limit of £1100, I've always prefered to use AMD cpu's & ATI gpu's (got an old 2500+ barton, NF7 rig I use as a local dev server) so this comp will probabbly become a fileserver for music etc.

Monitors, keyboards, etc not required in new rig as I can VNC into this comp to administrate.

Not too bothered about o/c'ing anymore, but need something quiet ideally. this spec should have a decent looking case, I like Antec Cases & have 2 already (the one prior to Antec Titan 550 Tower Case) I do like the look of the Antec P180, but no PSU.

So the challenge has been set, enjoy :D

Edit: I do play some games, & am looking forward to Supreme Commander. Other than that I use Photoshop, DW & Fireworks

Edit: actually on reading on what I wrote, I Don't need monitors (got 2) don't need keyboards or mice. Just the whole PC iteself, inc hdd's not to fussed about soundcard as I'll quite happily use built in.

inc vat = including vat, what you have given is + vat, btw I appreciate the time you have given so far. £1100 after vat is added if that helps.

Obviously no optical drive, but I can use one of my many others., what I do have a question about is, what will the graphics card be like, is it by somewhat scaled down to what the others are as at £159.99 it seems like a steal.
