Well, it's a budget system and no mistake, but you forgot a graphics card and sound card. Apart from that, it's not too bad.

Average depending on graphics card used.

40gb ibm 7200 hdd
AMD Athlon 1.1GHz
Midi Tower Nokia style
Abit KT7A
256MB PC133
Socket A Fan to 1.4GHz
2 Internal 8cm
With the total cost of items being £342.51

Fuck me lol, where did you get tht from?? i'll give ya £400 for that lot

Wouldnt mind the Hard Drive, Memory, and Mobo and Chip... heh

ibm harddrive?

 

[Will]

Aye, those drives that are not recommended for use more than 8 hours a day...

Lol, on second thought, sod the Hard Drive, i'll have the rest of your stuff tho.. i play CS like 7 hours a day and have my comp on like 3 hours before...

IBM HDD's R TEH SUX!

Good for the price, though the graphics card is important. Sound card less so.

The Abit KT7A motherboard is getting on a bit now and allows you no expansion possibilities in your system, only capable of supporting up to 1.2GHz processors. If the money will stretch you're better of getting its replacement, the KR7A which supports up to 2GHz.

It pays to think longer-term, I find.

Yeah, thats one good tip lol, will you want the comp for long term purposes, and will you want to upgrade a few months down the line, sometimes its best to pay that little bit extra to get something better, because the Prices may shoot up, and you will never get a bargain like it again....

Like me with the GeForce 4... i wanna keep an eye on that one lol
