Are you willing to build it yourself or do you want a prebuilt PC?

If you do want to build it yourself you could get something a little better than this Titan AMD Athlon X2 4200+ 2.2GHz SILENT DDR2 System

but that's not bad for the money really.

lol, buy this without the monitor rip it apart and fit a new graphics card in


Compaq Presario SR5315 Desktop PC. Cheap Compaq home and office computers from PC World.

john banks

Those guys seem to get almost to the say price as building it yourself plus the delivery. The nice thing is the variety of parts you can choose from.

NoCatSTI

my old PC is crashing like mad on Second Life so any of the above will be a vast improvement i am sure


I went and ordered the first one as it was way better spec than PC world for the same money


Wondering if i went too early lol, but my old PC was of 2002 vintage
not dual core etc
so will see a vast improvement me hopes


thanks again all,

right which ISP to get

currently with Tiscali at 2mb broadband

which one is best for gaming

I will wait until i have all the info this time

Cheers Paul
