"What can I get for £600?"

Me buying a new pc.. I got a TFT and keyboard/mouse etc so I'm trying to spec up something decent.

This is what I have come up with so far, with my budget of £600.

Comments please..

1.44Mb Samsung Floppy Disk Drive

Lite-On 52x24x52 CDRW IDE Burnproof Retail Kit Inc Media/Software (subject to change)

Panasonic 16x48 DVD ROM (Read DVD-RAM also)

128Mb ABIT *x8* Siluro GeForce 4 AGP Ti4200 TV Out/DVI/Dual

512Mb PC2700 (PC333) DDR Memory (Major)

Chieftec Scorpio Black TX-10 BD 340W PFC Midi Case

Heh.

Fixed it!

Duff video card. lol

Still driving me insane!!!!!!!!!!!!

Any suggestions anyone?!

Sounds nice. What was out of stock? I plan on building my own PC in the autumn, when this will get sacked.

Darn some of my stuff is out of stock so I wont have the kit before june now.

Asre!

Have to make do with my P3 at the mo...

Voodoos incidentally have the best 2D IQ. Radeons take the crown for 3D IQ. I'm not sure about modern 2D IQ. Ruari says they're both as good as each other.

Well he won't after being on a Voodoo 3 which i am on at the moment... must order my comp this weekend.

Pity, the ATI's 2D clarity is said to outmatch the Geforce's. Doubt I'd notice though tbh, heh.

Still if you do try some games it will work nicely compared to a voodoo 3 :p

And I wont be gaming much so I kinda changed my mind over the radeon - I've survived with a Voodoo 3 for the last 3 years so I aint bothered.
