Re: Take a look at my specs, please...
I did have a site but iv lost it had a ranking system for UK suppliers im sure it was rommell or romell something or other and if I remember rightly scan.co.uk did rank quite highly there so does komplett.co.uk
If I do come across again it Ill edit and post the link 
EDIT:
http://www.romulus2.com/feedback/chart.php?1
of course like all online rankings they can be manipulated so dont believe just the one place.

Re: Take a look at my specs, please...
Well, in the end, I only bought a few things from ebuyer - the case, the memory and the processor - the rest I got from scan....
Changed the motherboard for the next version up with the wifi card, changed the dvd writer for another one, and got a 200 gb drive instead, since they were all on special on scan...
It's all arrived today... i'm all excited now

You may laugh, but 10 years ago when I was putting an additional hard drive into a machine for the time ever - I had to call an engineer out, to 'fix' my machine, when it wouldn't boot.
It wouldn't boot even after I had removed the new drive...all that happened was it beeped when I turned it on...
Engineer came in, swapped over mouse and keyboard leads, machine booted... oh hum

Have fun building
And always double check before you do your final switch on.

Re: Take a look at my specs, please...
Well put it together on Saturday, all seemed ok - however, had no end of problems with the sata drive - sometimes the controller would see it sometimes it wouldn't, could only format 137 gb of the drive using a seagate disc, windows just fell over when trying to do anything with it, when it wasn't losing the disc.
Ran a seagate diagnostic tool on the drive, it says there is something wrong with it, and that I should return it.
Called scan and arranged to send it back... going to go to pcworld and get a big ide drive, so i can use my system as I don't want to wait for 2 weeks - once they decide whether or not the drive is faulty, I'll decide if I want a new one or not....
Funny how it works out - of all the bits I thought I was going to have problems with, the hard drive wasn't one of them.. oh well...
Incidentally, the bios says my memory is running at 200Mhz, dual channel - is that right? or should it be higher?
