The motherboard is made by this lot: http://www.soltek.de/ Click on "Products" then "Mainboard" then look for the model number. It's a lovely shade of purple

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

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...

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...

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

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...

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
