Well, I did go from maybe underpowered to way over powered, will ring them up tomorrow and see if I can change it.

Do what ya' feel is right...that PSU just caught my eye, it'd save you almost £30 and that's not including interest. Here's the one I'm talking about...I can't vouch for the vendor though, obviously. One of the bigger things nowadays is making sure the PSU has a single 12v rail, as that's what most components draw off of, especially the vid card...this has that. I have one myself, just the 750w version because it was on sale for the same price, otherwise I'd have gotten the 650.

Unless you're an absolute goon, which you're not, just get a laptop.

Why? Ive got a laptop which will do the portable job an that, but why not just have a much more powerful computer, which i can turn in a tv (No tvs are in the building or ariel sockets etc...) and have something i can watch DVDs on which isnt on a minute screen

Clearly they have much cheaper 1s, just tell me your budget and what your planning on doing and I can hook you up.

No card reader?
No joystick socket for flight sims? lol
what monitor?
BTW the video editing software could be better.
WiFi receiver?

Apple's really are a quality above Windows based machines, but it depends what you want to do. There is less software for Apple
