I am looking to purchase the following:

AMD XP CPU 2 GHz
DDR 512 Ram
40 gb Harddisk
64 MB Geforce Graphics card
Liteon 48x CDRW
DVD ROM

I have been qouted £490 for the above, inc case, PSU, etc. But no Monitor or mouse/keyboard.

He has suggested that I have RAID and two 40gb harddisks. This will leave the two IDE channels free. Not sure if I should go for RAID.

Anyone suggests any other spec.

depending how much you wanna spend, flick through some computer magazines in a corner shop for the best spec/PCs for your price range.

some of the good ones are like everham and mesh.

 

This PC is mostly going to be used to burn CD's and in a couple of months time it will have a DVD RW.

 

just had a look at www.pcpro.co.uk on their "A-list"...

value PC from systemax at £699+VAT
SPECIFICATIONS: 1.73GHz Athlon XP 2100+, 256Mb of PC2100 DDR SDRAM, MSI KT3 Ultra motherboard, 80Gb IBM Deskstar 120GXP hard disk, 16x Samsung DVD-ROM, 32x/10x/40x Samsung CD-RW, 64Mb Connect3D ATI Radeon 9000 Pro graphics, 17in CTX EX700F monitor, Avance AC97 audio, VideoLogic ZXR-500 speakers, Systemax V.90 modem, Windows XP Home, Lotus SmartSuite Millennium 9.7.

 

Get the best/fastest components you can afford now - helps delay redundancy by a couple of months. esp. CPU side of things.
