Looking for new PC
OK, I'm after a P4 3.0gb, must have a 350W PSU (for those new graphics cards), can I find one, no, not from Compaq,HP, DELL, etc anyway, what is wrong with them. I don't want a DIY jobbie, anyone know of another good PC manufacturer I can look at. The only PC HP could offer was dual XEON XW6000/8000.

Get a custom build then from www.aria.co.uk or alienware or dell and they will build and test the machine to pretty much any spec you want.
You pick the barebones base and then add components and they total it up and add vat and delivery.

Nobody manufactures PC's by the way.
Intel make the processor and occasionally the m/board ati or Nvidia do the graphics and dell/compaq/sony add £300 for a plastic case with their name on it.

Thanks for the replies, by the way lightning, the DELLs' I looked at on their site didn't have 350W + PSU and when I say manufacture, I know who do the various items, I just wanted a branded well know PC, not a lobbed together clone. I'm sure they have come along way since I last built one, but hey, I'm fussy
