Hello,
I have about £1,100 burning a hole in my back pocket and I was thinking about purchasing a new desktop PC.
A friend of mine is a techy with IBM and advocates building your own using quality components. He will do the job for me for £50.
Do people think that this is a good idea or a bad idea or maybe indifferent?
It does seem that you can get a better spec by self building but as ever comparing exact specs is difficult and how do you price a warranty etc?
The machine would be used for downloading/copying various media, I'd like it to handle Doom3 very well and also use it as a spare TV and a digital video recorder so I can bung out my tired looking VHS. A bigish screen would therefore be good and as its going in living space then it would be nice if it were quiet.
The products on offer at
www.meshcomputers.com consistently catch my eye - anybody any experience of them?
Cheers
