Would you call this a good price?
I'm after a new machine, and after a minimal amount of research I've found this.

Opinions please.
Bear in mind I'd be using the vid card (Radeon 9800), monitor and crap from my current machine.

Well since you're using your old gfx card and "crap"  I'd say go for it. Looks pretty good.
I have big plans, now if only I could see them through.

To clarify, by "crap" I mean the mouse, kb, speakers, case fans, etc.

:lol: I knew what you meant, I'd do it too. Except for the gfx card, except for that.

It looks okay, I don't like that VAT tax thingy you guys put up with, but it look like a decent value.

[color=cc9900]Sales tax is a doddle, I can just use my dad's company credit card (VAT can be reclaimed) and give him the non-VAT cash. Sorted.[/color]

I believe it worths the money. I wish I had a machine of that configuration!

325 pounds? I calculated it to Hungairan forints, so that I had something to compare to . . It definitely worths that amount of money!

Go and buy it! I will give you a whole pot of beer if you buy it. :D
