I'd remove that link if I were you, you are posting a link from a competitor site.

Sorry but you're going to have to remove that link, you can't link to competitor sites, as outlined in the FAQ :)

As for the spec, I would swap out the E6700 for a start to an E6600 or even an E6300 and couple it with a decent cooler and motherboard and overclock it :)

You'll get a much better system for your money by building it yourself- it's easy really, just like lego and there are tons of guides around on the net for building your own :) If you give us a rough budget, we will come up with a spec for you which I'm sure would own any pre-built off the shelf system for the same money easily :D
 
tell us what the main uses of the rig will be, and a budget. Will you be requiring a monitor, keyboard & mouse etc?

*Wonders what playing lego with graphics cards that cost £400 would be like*

have some faith in yourself :) It really isnt all that difficult, everything all just kind of slots and connects into place once you understand the basic assembly of a computer. Only thing youve really got to watch out for when handling components is static discharge, which can easily be avoided if you take the right precautions. It can also be quite fun, and youll learn a lot. It's also really satisfying the first time you hit the power button and you watch your first home built PC come to life.

Apologies for slight Hijack, but are you sure the 8800GTX Fits in the SLK3000B? Or do you have to remove the HDD Rack?

I can honestly say I don't know having never used the SLK3000B case and I can't find any inside views of it either :( :o
 
Reason I asked, is that i've just had the sides off mine to check it out; and im not convinced.
Grub's up now, but i'll sling you some piccies afterward.
