andy gardner

looking to build a budget first build ... and came up with the following
partlist from ebuyer (using the star ratings to help guide me)...
cost comes to about £150+ vat...
I guess most iffy bit is integrated motherboard - not upgradeable etc... but
gets lots of good reviews on ebuyer feedback
<http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X
3Jldmlld3M=&product_uid=49017>
some even saying it wasn't a bad games machine (medal of honour etc)...

What do people here think? if I could stretch another £50 could I get a
substantial improvement changing some parts...
machine is for general purpose office apps and some games (eg medal of
honour etc)?

thanks Andy

CPU is only 1200MHz Duron and there is no AGP slot on motherboard for future
3D graphics. upgrade.

Anyway you certainly can't build a brand new PC for any cheaper.
I recommend ebuyer. I've ordered lots and never had any problems.
