I finally got around to ordering a new PC. My original plan was to wait for Windows Vista, order individual parts and build it myself but after some shopping around I've found that I might actually get a better deal buying a custom built PC from PCSpecialist as they are offering a free* Vista Premium upgrade when you buy a Vista ready PC with Windows MCE 2005. So here it is.

• INTEL® Core 2 Duo E6600 (2 X 2.40GHz) 1066MHz FSB/4MB L2 Cache
• 2048 MB CORSAIR DDR2 667MHz - LIFETIME WARRANTY! (2x1GB)
• ASUS® P5LD2 SE/C: DUAL DDR2, S-ATA, x16 VGA, 3 PCI/3 PCI-E
• MICROSOFT WINDOWS® MCE 2005 (inc. Genuine CD and license)
• Free Upgrade to Vista Premium with purchase of Windows MCE 2005
• 6 x USB 2.0 PORTS (4 REAR 2 FRONT)
• 320GB SERIAL ATA II HARD DRIVE WITH 8MB CACHE (7200rpm) (x2)
• 18x /- DVD WRITER (8x /- Dual Lyr) (5x DVD-RAM) (40x CD-RW) (x2)
• 768MB GEFORCE 8800GTX PCI Express DVI TV-OUT
• Sound Blaster® Audigy® SE with 7.1 Surround Sound
• WIRELESS 108Mbps NETWORK CARD
• Stylish Silver Aluminium Trigon Case 2 Front/Side USB (Pictured)
• 600W Quiet Quad Rail PSU incl Case Fan and CPU Cooler
• Logitech® Internet Keyboard Hotkeys (Black)

This all for roughly the same price as what I had planned to order in parts except with the bonus of a warranty and a few hundred quids worth of operating system for free* on release. I'm ordering a decent monitor seperately from dabs as I already had my heart set on a particular model. The system should arrive in around 2 weeks time, I just hope I have somewhere to put it by then! * £8 shipping
