Seeing as it's the price of the graphics card im going to get, i'll have to say no heh.

I want one with big mofo fans, there's one called Aerocool EngineII, with a jet turbine fan in the front, but bit tacky.

I like : http://www.ebuyer.com/product/107969 From NZXT They also do a red LED version http://www.ebuyer.com/product/129985 which is nicer, and a gloss black version which is same price as:

Antec 900, which is what i'll probably get, ace cooling and brand:
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/118268

Proper gaming case that, loving the 2 front fans and massive top fan. Though wish it was with gloss paintwork or something, looks cheapish (even though its extremely high quality)

This is one of those threads where people ask for suggestions, then just buy whatever the hell they want to again.

i'm not paying £80 for a shiny case, end of, ironically i'm looking at a £70 case, but i'm sure there's logic in there. For £80 i want more than it beign shiny and a bit quiet. I have 3 dogs, quiet ain't such an issue lol. What is, is style, cooling and internal design.

I think, with help form Asir, i've got a good mid-range setup i'm going to buy now. At end of month with my wages cash, before i spend it in the pub. System, minus case with be roughly £400:

CPU: Core 2 2.33Ghz E6550 (1333 FSB)
FAN: Zalman CPNS9700
MOBO: Asus P5K-C (P35,DRR2/DDR3, 1333 FSB)
GFX: ATI HD 3850 Pro 512MB (720 core/1800 mem)
RAM: 2X1GB PC 6400 OCZ Platinum 800mhz kit.
PSU: Arctic Power 700W (Modular Cabling, just £40, bargain as opposed to Corsair VX550w/Antec NeoPower, both £60)
CASE: TBC (Have Coolermaster Centurion atm, probably get the Antec 900.
I think that's a fair crack for £400, though i would've liked the 2.4Ghz Quad core and geforce 8800GT on P5E Board, but add another £160-170 for that on top.

Going to read the reivew now, been looking at case reviews today, the Antec 900 looks the boy for cooling, but kinda loud and non-stylish. i noticed the case u mentioned before, but didn't see any features that warranted the £70 price over the other £70 cases i've looked at (including the 900).

So will read the review now, looks very nice though.

I got a 600W actic power at the moment haha, 2 years old, i woulda been fine with an AA battery tbh.

Well if i had a choice i'd go modular, as it's makes the world so much nicer inside your case, so the Antec NeoPower would be my PSU of choice, but at £70, i get that new case and PSU. My only concern would be cooling, but my Coolermaster Centurion, although getting 5 star reviews on ebuyer, offers very little in that way, and no room in the box, zero airflow.

Can anyone recommend either parts or a ready made system for my sister to replace her current antique computer? What I want is fast but without uneccessary costs in the graphics department as it won't really be used for playing the latest games. Also preferably Windows XP.
