Yes the cost of the os is part of the £400. I prefer to buy from Scan, Ebuyer or Amazon.

I've updated my original post with the required info for help building a new PC. :) I plan to keep that on my current PC as it's more useful for work related tasks.

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Gaming. 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? £1.3k with shipping. 3) Where do you live? UK 4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc. Please be very specific. Monitor...

I've placed an order for the Asus Xonar D2, and it has both of those features which is cool. Only reason I went with the Asus, is because it's £20 cheaper than the X-Fi Prelude. Thought I'd try something different than the X-Fi line of cards. I've only had the X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Fatal1ty Pro...

Thanks! Now I have a reason to buy the Samsung 22" pebble LCD monitor. :D

I don't want to make a duplicate thread with the same question, so I'll ask here. Will I be able to maximise the Vista Media Center window to my HDTV whilst controlling it with the remote, and then use the second monitor to browse the internet or play a game with the keyboard and mouse at the...

Thanks for the explanation. Should work out nicely. Will just have to set a macro for it on my harmony remote. :)

Can I do both or is that not possible? Like set the HTPC audio to analogue on the receiver when I want to play a game, then switch it back to digital when not gaming? Also, if I could only use one source, would I be better off with a dedicated sound card for analogue audio, or will the...

I'm in the process of completing my HTPC, and I was wondering how would I go about connecting it to my av receiver? Is it as simple as taking the digital out from the motherboard to the receiver to get audio or do I need to buy a separate sound card? Specs: Motherboard: Asus P5K-E/WIFI-AP...

Thanks for the answer. I'll stick with the Ergotron arm, since I can't find an online shop that sells the Steelcase arm in the UK. :)

Will the above LCD arm be able to hold a Dell 2407WFP-HC?

Thanks for the replies General Crespin & Dark Prodigy. Guess I'll take your advice and look on eBay for that model. Cheers. :) The Lite-ON drive will have to do until I find it lol.

OK. Thanks for all the extra info and tips everyone. :) I'll be ordering the revised parts of my new PC over the weekend. Got Vista 64 today at a cheaper price by buying it through the company I work at. Almost 40% off. :D Shame I can only order software through them. :(

Well that's settled then. Also which of the two 4 GB kits should I go with? The 2x2 GB OCZ or the 4x1 Corsair. Logic would tell me to go with the 2x2 GB OCZ.... That card is £30 more than X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Fatal1ty Pro going at £120! I don't see the point in spending extra on it tbh, with the...
