    ...because I want it now!

    What are some opinions of this one, built by http://www.ankermann-pc.co.uk/ as recommended in this thread. Also the motherboard (or something near to it) was recommended in this thread and I've gone for a quiet video card and super silent power (again following recommendations in this very helpful thread). Some of the prices listed are just upgrade prices. Total cost is £500. I might buy it or use the specs as a base for building my own.
