Decision!

I've ordered the Zoostorm PC - 3.2ghz quad processor, 2TB hard disk, 8gb RAM, Windows 7 premium 64 bit, gigabit ethernet, etc. Ought to be plenty fast enough for my current and future needs, a bit more expensive than I'd originally planned but considering how much of my life is spent in front of a computer I might as well spend accordingly. Should arrive on Monday if their site isn't lying to me, we'll see how it goes.

They also do a version with an AMD 4.1GHz processor that only costs £269.99 after cashback, but it doesn't include any operating system. If I were building a Linux box or a machine primarily for games I'd be very tempted.

Now I need to get some CAT6 cable to run from the Gigabit socket on my router to the PC...

If you don't mind my asking, what is the cost? The site doesn't say. My desktop is going flaky at the moment and I suspect that I'm going to be looking around for a replacement. It looks like a really good system. I'm printing out the specs to take with me when I go looking here in Perth.

£429 including VAT and currently free next day delivery.

Prices are to the right of the picture of the PC on my screen.

Thanks. :-) It's showing now, but when I looked earlier it was just showing "Out of stock" & no price. Apparently they only display the price if they have stock, which is rather an odd choice.
