I am building a system for a friend for 700 pounds so i just wanted to know what you all thought i should use and what you think would work well for that amount (incl. monitor and keyboard, ect.)
 
Can you please tell me how much that is in US dollars?
 
Hi all,

$1093.75

Just checked latest exchange rate.

Catch you all later,
Blue
 
As all know we like to recommend expecially our components ( that we've tested .. ) but I'll try to make a different choise . In your actual budget you must take care to choose the components that '' fits - you '' if you understand what I mean .. not so cheap bu not so expensive , in this case [ .... ]

Recommended system in this period ( my choise )
1. An Athlon based system ( especially Athlon XP 1800+ )
2. Mobo : MSI or Epox ( Asus too expensive )
3. Monitor : matters so much but I'll give you all information only if you really want cause I don't want to make this a "very" personal opinion
4. That's all you've asked !

For more information ( detailed ) contact me by PM ...
 
yep, i was thinking of something along the lines of xp 1800
 
If Bluekelt is right, and 700 pounds is around 1100, well,
my system cost 1109 total. :

AMD XP 1900
1024MB PC2700 DDR RAM
nVidia Geforce 4 4400
Sound blaster 5.1 live
IBM 120GXP 120GB
420 Watt PSU
CDRW- 32x/12/40
DVD 16x


I believe now this would be cheaper; so maybe you could get a faster CPU...
 
Gigabyte- Ga-7VRXp.

If you say UK prices are rip offs; maybe you should order from an Amercian vendor?
 
a few problems with that are:
1.No credit card
2.Need the parts quickly
 
That sucks. I don't know about UK prices much; but how much higher Quiksilvah?
 
how much does the Gigabyte- Ga-7VRXp cost over there?
 
GA7VRXP KT333 5PCI AGP4X DDR333 Audio USB2.0 UDMA133 LAN ATX - Retail; some dealer in New York online sells it for 100; but looks like the average online price around from 100-110.
 
As long is it's Revision 2.0 of that board; I love it; and wouldn't trade if for anything.
 
man thats pretty lame so for about 1100 us dollars it would still cost you about 1100 pounds?
 
Hi,

how about a P4 2.4 ghz @ £149 + vat
Asus P4S533 @ £65.33 + vat

I saw reconditioned monitors at the local computer fair for - check these prices out! - 21" £99!!!

This fair was in croydon, a bit far from you, but maybe worth a look.

The chip and mobo from ebuyer.com

Just so its not ALL amd!! (hehehe)

Good luck with whatever you decide
:cool:

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
