    gan for the 17" tft... 500 beans is fairly cheap... even 2nd hand

    edit : it's about right price - no massive bargain - but a good setup. u might wanns rebuild it - so discount any software with it - u can get owt yourself after

    Thanks Very Much !

    I am not gonna bother with the monitor and buy one up here cos then its a bomb for postage - i will tell the bloke to just leave the HD totally free of anything i think cos i dont want anything on it other than Champ Manager then whatever else is useful !

    Where's cheap for a 17" monitor in toon ?!?!

    I seen some on net for £60 odd...

    Sounds like a V Good deal. The only thing that might bother some might be the hassle you'll have upgrading your motherboard if it's not a standard ATX case. As cases cost pennies these days it's not that much of an issue.

    Sometimes you've gotta stop window shopping and just get in there.

    Here's a comparison for you, I've just got this price from Computer Orbit.
    AMD XP 2400
    512mb DDRAM
    80gb HDD
    Pioneer 107D DVDR
    Bog standard VGA
    Bog standard sound
    Keyboard,mouse & speakers
    17" CRT Monitor
    No OS or software
    £350
