When one is looking to spend over £1000 one needs to take time.

The current cheapest quote is from PC Specialist at a shade over £1200.

Core i7-920 DO step CPU
6GB Corsair XMS3 1600MHz
Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD3R mother board
700W Quite Quad Rail PSU
CoolerMaster HAF 922 Case

2x1TB SATA 3 Gb/s hard disks
22x Dual layer DVD Writer
Internal Card Read

896MB nVidia GTX260
22" LGW2261V monitor
Logitech 1500 keyboard and mouse

Vista Home Premium 64bit and Win 7 upgd

1 Year Collect and Return

Computer Planet are £60 more changing

Asus P6T SE mother board
Asus LightScribe DVD (SATA)
ATX Case
Asus 22" (VK222s) monitor (webcam)

SCAN and Overclockers are much more expensive and Zing is not local.

Our local shop quoted £1250 but only 1 HD, no DVD, no card reader. But one of their techies really wants to build a machine like that.

Anyone had experience of either these or heard anything to avoid. I am willing to go with more expense if it's really worth it. All offer lifetime support, manuals, etc.

Any gotchas, questions needed etc most welcome.
