I specced this up for someone in another thread- take off the speakers, keyboard and mouse and it comes in well under budget

Nice spec, though I would say it would be better to get 2 250Gb HHDs, only a couple of quid more and you get much more versatility (ie a RAID configuration depending on what you need).

Also, though that Lian-Li case looks the dogs, I'm not convinced it's worth spaffing £175 on irrespective of budget.

Perhaps a dual monitor setup would be nice too, though it depends what you need from the system. If it's going to be a media type PC, perhaps 1 large monitor would be best, but for most other uses (especially desktop work) dual monitors would be a big bonus.

I like triggers spec, but the E6600 is better suited to the Asus P5W

Ahh sorry- the Lian-Li case and the case fans were something the person I originally did the spec for wanted specifically but of course these can be changed to suit your tastes. Personally, I would never consider spending that much on a case but that's just me being a cheapskate

Nuttie, do you need a massive HDD? 400GB sounds cool but if you're like me you'll probably not use more than 50GB so if you're not planning on using the space it's just basically an E-penis-pump if you get my meaning.

 

[Trigger]

Hard drives are comparitvley cheap these days though so it makes sense to have more space than you need

it does and they are pretty cheap but for someone like me my 160GB HDD is much more than I'll ever use I think, 115GBs free and I've got everything I need on here. However if you like downloading videos/music and whatnot the space is filled up a lot quicker.

Still, if he's not gonna use the space that £50 could be either saved or spent on some other component.

The spec. trigegr gave are ok

Into the other reply's:
if your a downloader, go for 400 gigs at least, it will fill up in a approx. 2 months if u take anything less.
If your not a real gamer or downloader: 160 gigs is all you need

, also why a floppy, its all replaced with bootable cd's. a rewritable cd can do anythign a floppy can and 400 times more data fits on it.
But if you realyl wnat one, try soem advert sites for a cheap one for 5 quid or less... , whatever the case unelss u destroy bios u'll never need floppy's, they're pretty obselete...

Even a USB memory stick would be more worthwhile than a floppy drive, not many new computers have floppies now.
