Well, recommend a system please guys. I have a 22inch screen already so don't need that, got a printer and keyboard mouse speakers all the other stuff. Just need the box.

Thats one I built last week for my brother.... Its a bloody good computer with ALOT better specs then the one you listed. Also if your interesting in having a go at building one yourself, that motherboard is a piece of **** to work with. And its not that hard to do one yourself its suprisingly easy, and most on here are willing to help you out.

Looks good, and the price is far better than I got quoted. I wouldn't know where to start and what to get plus I just don't have the time. I don't mind paying to get it built as long as I get the rest of it for a good price.


Might check them out on the weekend. Thanks mate.

Those specs sound good too, don't need a huge hard drive though. Got an external one I use.

Thats a fair point. LOL, won't have a small one but don't need a huge one either.

shop arround if you know someone who can build them.

the cpu is a bit expensive as you can get q6600 quads for about $230 now.

A couple of places are.....

GameDude Computers - gamedude.com.au

PcShopper - pcshopper.com.au

Centre Com - centrecom.com.au


Prety much can buy online and get it delivered to your door for half the price of that computer, just need to find someone who can build it for you cheap if not free


Also: I have 2 x Gigabyte ATI Radeon 2600 Pro (2x512mb) cards in this computer which i paid $80 each for. so consider the price of that 2400 slightly rip-offish:)
