Take a look at this pricing error....
I'm sorely tempted to order one in the hope they won't notice

i think its right.... got to the point when i'm 1 click away from purchasing, but just sat here staring at my pc, nowt wron with mine, don't need to spend around £400 when i won't be using it lol.
i suppose i can buy it then sell it on ebay lol
this is my system, it does what i need and i don't play games..

I was putting together an order for a new build when I stumbled upon it. The order comes to £898. Its a no brainer for me to order the system But....there's surely no way they'd honour it Surely Then again whats there to lose?

Just trawling the T&C's:
Every effort is made to ensure that prices shown on the Supplier's website are accurate at the time you place your order. If an error is found, the Supplier will inform you as soon as possible and offer you the option of reconfirming your order at the correct price, or cancelling your order. If the Supplier does not receive an order confirmation within 14 days of informing you of the error, the order will be cancelled automatically. If you cancel, the Supplier will refund or re-credit you for any sum that has been paid by you or debited from your credit card for the goods.
Sooooo.... they DO have a get out clause.
I've also looked at the main page for the Gamer Systems and it's deffo missing a 1 from the front of the price.... there's no way they'll honour that price!

They all do these days
I ordered a Canon 70-200 L glass Lens for my camera, as it was advertised at 21.95 instead of 421.95 they had 7 in stock too, ordered it, got the money took out of my account and then a few days later had the order cancelled for pricing error
Was worth a try though

there no keyboard or mouse, or o/s (i think they are hoping people will buy extras)

Totally mad PSU in there 1KW 
The most you are going to need is 600W and that is being conservative.
I'm waiting for when they release one with its own personal nuclear power station
Oh, ordered one Good find, doubt it will show up

Hmmm, why do all their gaming systems have "SILENT" in the title. I don't see a single component that is designed to reduce noise. Standard graphics card fans, standard CPU fan, no mention of special case fans 
EDIT: I see how they can make that claim, it says SILENT DDR2, so the memory is noiseless

Processor : Intel Pentium 4 3Ghz (overclcocked to a mighty 3.25Ghz)
Motherboard : Abit IC7 Motherboard
