Well, if its the one you link too - its - well - cheap... Not sure your link is right though.

Re: New system
 

It's an odd link :) It's a frame and the site is well written, so it opens, then opens again in its frameset. The core config is:

Motherboard: Soltek SLKT600-C1L
Case: Nokia Style Midi Tower (Blue)
Floppy Disk Drive
Keyboard: Genius Comfy KB10
Mouse: Genius Netscroll+
Modem: 56K Speedcom+ Rockwell Int PCI

The bits don't interest me - the motherboard is the important bit. I wonder what folks made of the various options? Good choice, load of rubbish...

Re: New system
 

Why that Mobo specifically then? If its that which you feel is the most important bit then i would recommend doing a bit of research on your choice of board.

I have heard some good things about Soltek, but if you want a good board, then apparently Abit and Asus are the best. Which specific one you get would then depend on what CPU you want - Speed / AMD / Intel etc...

Re: New system
 

CCL doesn't give you a choice of motherboards, so it Soltek (AMD) or Shuttle (Intel). My choices would be:

AMD INTEL
83.45 72.52 Core
96.14 103.76 Processor Athlon XP PR3000+ / P4 2.8
44.99 44.44 Memory 512Mb DDR
32.05 32.05 80GB Maxtor HDD
81.57 81.57 128MB ATI Radeon 9600XT
81.85 81.85 XP Pro
420.05 416.19 SUB TOTAL
73.51 72.83 VAT
493.56 489.02 TOTAL

Re: New system
 

Sorry still think the Komplett deal is better - for an extra 20 quid you get a far better case, better processor, DVD burner - PC3200 memory - and a 160 GIG drive... Oh and a 9800 Pro as opposed to a 9600 Pro.

And im willing to bet the motherboard is not to bad either...

Re: New system
 

OK :) The attractive thing with CCL is that they're only 20 mins away - I can sling it back at them if it doesn't work :D
