It all looks good minues the Windows Media Center Edition but I noticed you are going to be moving onto the Vista Upgrade, thats good. Looks good by me.

Why not up the hard drive?

I would skimp out on the ram and hard drive, dell over charges for both.

£1599?

 

[Henyman]

just under £1300 deliverd . only reason i selected media center is because the the vista upgrade 😉

am just sorting out finances before i order it, prob tomorrow.

currently have an 80GB hardrive + have looooads of free space, even with all the pr0n on it 😱

Could always spring for a 200GB external Maxtor One Touch III - I believe it's around $125 from Dell.

What's wrong with the old laptop?

 

[Henyman]

Ram slots are totaly ****ed, the clips have broken. i did have a tempory fix in place but thats no good either now 🙁

 

[kcnychief]

I assume no more warranty as well?

 

[Henyman]

nah, it's had 3+ years of hard abuse 😛

Just gone and built myself a new dual core shuttle pc, well cool and only cost me "just" shy of £800. 😀

Nice, very nice! And has been said you can always just get an external HDD if needs be.

Rush - when are you coming to Norwich?! You keep saying next time, next time, but you never tell me! :dead:
