nah, catalouge. i would built it up better from custom
options, if i only had a credit card to pay for it. the
place where i bough it is ( tadaa )dixons, which isnt too
good. but still, no other option, and i just couldnt waited
longer.

i will prolly upgrade this beauty to 2Gb of RAM, maybe
little bit more HD, deffo good sound card ( thats priority )
and some external shits like printer and shit.

its basiclyy a packlage they also offer at DELL websites.
the one difference is that i couldnt customize it, but
still, im quite satisfied.

yea its a pretty good deal but the gfx card is a bit shite

i even dont know what sort of graphic card is it to be
honest. probably some shit just to be in the place.im not
into games anyway, i think that average readeon will do the
work, so im not worried about it. i rather see problems with
sound card, coz im lame when it comes to their specs, and
sound blaster audigy had some baad reviews, so i dunno.

make sure its not a intergrated graphics card, im not a
gaming man but its humbling to know you've got a decent gfx
card to fall back on if you wana waste some time :]

anyway.

relax, it's a bit cheaper in this country. Plus, i have
bought it in parts, assembling then at home. It was 1.6
monthly salaries so calm down. and who said my comp is
better than yours.

not very hard. you can do it yourself or invite a more
experienced friend to help you, if it's the first time for
you just to avoid being scared and to learn how to:)
usually instructions to parts do help, so be sure to read
them. one of the most nasty parts of assembling is
connecting the power, reset button and indicators to the
motherboard but there always is the scheme how to do this.

There are competitions on pc-assembling being held
sometimes, and last i heard, the winner has assembled it in
.. around one minute. don't remember exactly.
