Gadget show £500 PC

Anyone else see the Gadget show on five earlier?
They had to buy / build a PC for under £500 inc Monitor. Jason went down the build it route, bought stuff from Scan and built a Dual Core system with only 512Mb Ram and a 7600 GPU (I think) - somewhat light on Ram I would have thought.
What struck me most is the total lack of static protection he used when 'apparently' building his system. No mat, no strap, no nothing!
Very lucky he didn't fry something in the process and totally the wrong message for any budding builders.

More details here.
