Well it's going to be done at about christmas time. As I was looking at building it myself I thought I may aswell get to know some stuff before I go spending money on things that wont work, or aren't wroth the extra money. I spoke to somebody last night and he showed me a few places where I can get some stuff cheap. Do you know of any other forums I could look at? He also said that I ould get a good enough one for £400 if I built it. I don't need to buy a monitor as it will be into my tv in my room buy what he sais is vga-vga connection? I just wanted an idea of what to be looking for, and prices I should expect to pay really. Doesn't need to be super good. Just good enough so it doesn't lag and is fast enough for the job I guess. Would I be good using an old case/pc and upgrading what's needed? I havn't a clue if I need a different case for different fittings or if old ones are good for new components. All I understand about a case is I'll want a big one for maximum air flow to keep it cool.
