Well, I did say or nearest offer I believe. And don't forget that the machine you configured probably doesn't have removable drives. Another reason why my asking price was on the high side is the machine was upgraded at the end of 2006 with a new motherboard, new ram, new harddrive caddy, new PSU and other bits and bobs which came to just over £400.00 and of course they're still guaranteed. Although its spec is not as fly as a machine you could buy today, most of its innerds are less than a year old still! It originally cost £1450.00, so with the upgrade it has cost me £1850.00 roughly. As I said, nearest offer. If someone offers me £200.00 of course I will laugh and shake my head because its most certainly worth a lot more than that, but 800 say, 900 including the Yamaha sound card mixing desk perhaps, then we're talking realistic.

Fwiw! just configured a system for giggles that's a Quad Core Q6600 2.4ghz 1066fsb with 8 mb cache on: http://www.music-pc.com/packagebuilder/indexp.cgi?package_id=PCMUSIC05&prebuild_id=CORE2M&action=display for £1006.08 which, includes delivery. I got a core duo from Millennium music who build these systems, for around the same price however, this system that I configured here, has 3 hard drives, as well as all of the scielent CPU stuff such as cooler, acousty pack exedra. My core duo system came with 2 hard drives. It's amazing how much quad cores are coming down in price. Sure, the processor speed is a bit lower that the speck of the system you have posted however, this quad core, will overall, have more CPU power.
