"Quick question for you"

Hi there, just canvassing opinion here.

Q. If you were going to buy a brand new top of the range PC, what would you expect it to come with? I'm talking all components and parts here, if you'd be so kind.

Though I would never buy such a machine, I would expect a top-end computer at the moment to pack something like:

* Big TFT/CRT monitor (around 19")
* Nforce2 or KT400 based motherboard, preferably with a SATA controller
* XP3000 processor or thereabouts
* DDR400 memory, probably 1024MB
* A high-end Radeon card, 9800pro I should presume
* A decent heatsink/fan, at least partially copper
* A decent soundcard of some description
* A fast HD, preferably SATA, minimum of 120GB capacity
* A nice looking sturdy case with a good array of fans, at least some intake fans at the front. Must have front USB too
* Probably two CD-type drives, with the ability between them to read/write both CDs and DVDs
* At least 400W PSU, a nice one too
* A Microsoft mouse and a nice keyboard, perhaps one with a built in USB hub
* Windows XP Pro


This is what I would expect from a top of the range computer, though it doesn't necessarily correlate to what I would want from such a machine.

I've been looking at the same configurement.

You can customise PC's- expanding HDD, more RAM, Best Sound Card etc. It might be worth a look.
