Right so my mum's dell bit the farm after a good 5 years of service. I've been charged with building the replacement.
I've got a spare case and an HDD that she can have, the rest must come to less than £400.
The uses are net browsing, homeworks and gaming @ 1280x1024 res - MW2 would be the most taxing game they own (Younger brothers ^^)
I've came up with the following:
Sub Total : £293.56
I'm in N.Ireland so with shipping its about £360, if you can best the spec or spot improvements/problems please post them up
