hows that look

Seems mighty fine to me

I'd swap that HD for a Seagate 7200.10, 320gb is plenty big enough for most ppl too.

to late all ordered should be fun tryin to build.

I even talked him into gettin that monitor you put fwd Mani

got to buy a new laptop with the insurance from where i work - like for like is almost double what i paid for my lappy any)any)any)any)any):225:900ageNo_2:SortOrder_DOWN">of the two compaqs on this page mine is more like the top one but if i can squeeze and extra £50 from the insurance do you think the other is more worth the money (the other compaq that is) £649 - £599

I was even thinkin of gettin a MacBook as something completely different to play with. p.s if i get mac book it would have to be this one

Thoughts please - ill either be buying tomorrow or Thursday - so sooner the better

crazy that the above link still works

Dell make ok laptops for the cash, not a big fan of compaq my self. I think i would go for the mac myself, as i have a desktop for games, and the mac is just a bit diffrent, and i would use it more then my mini mac. I belive you can also shove windows on a mac now if you get stuck .

I have the slightly better macbook, the black one.

It's only for work really and tbh I can't stand laptops.

i cant believe im almost goin to be spendin £700 on a laptop that i cant even use for games,..

I was thinkin i may hand a copy of a reciept into work - well a copy and then get a refund with the original (without them knowing) and build a new home pc.


I dont know why i really want a mac to be honest - i just seem to do. but seeing as a cheap Mac Laptop is out of my range i figured why not build a cheaper pc if i could get away with it and get work to pay.

I dont want to con work - but if my laptop - now doubles in value why would i want to take it back into work, where it could be damaged or even stolen again - when i guess i could build a cheap pc to run - Powerpoint if needed.
