As a package this seems ok - although im only saving £20 getting them together so i could pick a larger screen and stuff the £20 saving.

I just (with my limited knowledge) thought the Tower was decent.

Am I wrong?

I've shopped with BigPockets before, they've not done me wrong so far.

Yep, that one Coopz mentioned looks pretty decent for the price.

Need to make sure it's upgradeable, 1gb RAM is not really enough these days and integrated graphics cards tend to be pretty shit.

Bigpockets is a big reputable company

As for upgrading it depends what your using it for. No games playing means no need for a GFX card

what are your main uses for it Rad?

Movie editing - web browsing - a few word/excel stuff.

Anything else is a bonus - but im not after a pc anymore anyway - found a nice one today with intel core 2 duo, 2.40ghz - 2gig ram 250gig hd, Geforce 8400 and a nice 20" monitor
