Theo or Polaris?

Theo

Polaris

Asked a few questions before, but ready to make a purchase now.

What I want from the PC is:

Silent
Can run HD video
Will run Windows 7 reasonably quickly at 1920x1200.
Mostly for surfing/working. Photoshop is probably most intensive thing it'll do
Doesn't have to excel at gaming

Many thanks in advance, and grateful for any component changes suggested.

Thanks for the reply fella. I could perhaps look at increasing the spec of the GPU then. Any suggestions?

Got a link to that one mate? Quietness/silence is the key priority really. Cheers.

Get the polaris as its more futureproof, although it uses ddr2 which means (chances are) if you want to upgrade you will need a new motherboard. Have you considered building?

Aye, I've built all my systems in the past. Just thought OCUK would do the clever thinking for me component-wise. You reckon I could get a more tuned system for my needs if I did it myself?

Thanks lad, been mulling this over last week. Reckon I prefer the AMD Jon so going to go down that route.

Super, looking at your spec, am I missing a video card? Cheers.
