Every year i buy a new computer and this year is no different. Might sound a bit strange but its just one of those thing i do.....dunno why
Anyways i gave my current machine away to a friend as a birthday present last night and now i have ordered my new computer. As you can see i build my own systems because its customized to my needs and its cheaper than buying a manufacture PC.
Total cost was a bargain price of £176 and 85 new British pence
No bad eh?
Kingston 2GB DDR2 533MHz/PC2-4200 RAM
£26.16
MSI 945GCM5-F V2 Socket 775 onboard VGA 8 channel audio mATX Motherboard
£30.99
Lancer Silver Full Aluminium Mid Tower Case
£15.40
Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 2.20GHz Socket 775 800FSB 2MB Cache Retail Boxed Processor with Intel Heatsink and Fan.
£74.93
Western Digital WD800JD Caviar SE 80GB 7200RPM SATAII 8MB Cache
£29.37
I have kept my Nvidia 7200 GS because the Intel onboard sounds a bit sucky and i have tons of DVD writers laying about. So should serve me well till 2009, will probably get a quad core next year and an 8800 as the prices will be a fraction of what they are now in 2009.
So i will be getting this some time next week and i will be installing a 30 day trial of Vista Home premium until i can buy a full copy, but thats only around £70 if i get the upgrade edition.
