a4gom Posted August 9, 2011 Author Posted August 9, 2011 They are looking at this at the moment from Dinopc.com CPU: Intel Core i5 2400 CPU Cooler: Xigmatek HDT-S963 Operating System: Microsoft® Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Motherboard: Asus P8H61-M LE/USB3 (Rev. 3) Memory: 8GB DDR3 1333mhz (2x 4GB) Hard Drives: 1TB S-ATAII 3.0Gb/s Optical Drive: 22x DVD±RW DL S-ATA Graphics card: Onboard Video Sound card: Onboard 7.1 Audio Case: Piano Black ATX PSU: 400W Xigmatek Warranty: Platinum Warranty, 3 Year Lab & 2 year Parts Think it's about £440, only bit I can see which might let it down is the onboard graphics but they have onboard graphics at the moment and so do I and it's never been a problem as we are not big gamers.

Mid life crisis Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 You could always buy a second hand Dell or HP running XP for less than £80.00. Something like a 2800/3000mhz Pentium D with a gig or so of memory. Quote

Blatman Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 QUOTE Operating System: Microsoft® Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Get Pro or better. Then you can run it in "XP mode" if you have hardware or software compatibility issues. Or you can load Virtual Box on to *any* computer and run an XP machine as a virtual PC in all it's glory on the new PC just like it was a real actual XP computer. Virtual Box is great... Quote
