The last time I had a pC I handed over £900 for a DX4 100Mhz. Obviously, times have changed and in my quest for broadband and Xbox Live, I've decided to purchase a PC. What I'd like to know is what SR's Maxx PCs are like? The money's not a problem and I can get the highest spec one if I wanted to but I just want to know whether anyone has one and what upgrades etc. I should get. Please bear in mind that I don't want to be buying a new one for another couple of years, at least.
So, any suggestion?

I'll probably go for the £1200 one. I hate paying in installments so i'll lay it all out in one go...my new job is good for that!
I got mine through SR Loan, it's about £30 per month. Beats laying out a grand at once.
Gave old comp to maniac ex to keep her happy, went down to Sawbo one Sunday morning, 3hrs later was back at home with nice shiny new PC. Have played Medal of Honour/Splinter Cell/Vietcong etc all with details ramped to 100% and have no problems, 2.4 gig processor means it goes stupidly fast and hammers through games like you wouldn't believe.
You wont regreat it sir

Thanks for that Goatboy. Well, it's decided then. When my next paycheck rolls in, I'll be getting one.
Runs everything so far with no probs whatsoever, XP goes like a whippet.
As for graphics, it's a top end system with a furious graphics card. I've been playing all my games with details at 100% with zero slowdown/stutter etc, runs the Splinter Cell demo like lightning.
I was initially a bit dubious but have to say, completely unbiased, I'm 100% happy with it.
Beats PC World into floor with a big stick

Does it run all the normal application with no slowdown? And could it run high spec games as well? (e.g. Doom 3, etc)
I've got this one:

Can recommend it highly. Fast processor, awesome graphics and it smells really, really nice
