Andy I'm doing the very same myself at the minute and about the best =
supplier I've found in terms of afordability and flexability is =
www.pcexpert.co.uk they let you configure just about every componnt of =
the system and also have an excellent help system that talks you through =
the function and options for each component. In the main of course you =
think you know everything but it helps to clarify things sometimes, for =
example there'sa good section on power supplies and cooling and a guide =
to how much of each you might want depending on processor speed etc. =
The only down side is that when configuring a machine you don't see the =
relative prices of all components so you have to built a dream machine =
and then adjust individual components to see what effect this has on the =
price.
You can save a quote and this is then saved for 5 days in which time you =
can order at that price. After 5 days you have to re build as they won't =
guarantee prices at that time.

Subject: [access-uk] New computer recomendations
Hi all.
Thinking of upgrading my computer during the next two weeks and could do =
with some advice.
Firstly, I've purchased both of my old computers from PC World in =
Glasgow.=20
Both have been Packard Bell machines and both have required frequent =
restores back to factory settings. Both came with the dreaded Norton =
junk and when you restore back to factory settings, there is Norton =
again defiant, like an unwanted guest at a party.
My new computer will have to have no Firewall or anti-virus, as I would =
like to try the NOD 32 system.
My first question therefore, would I be able to purchase NOD 32 as a CD =
so as to install it before going on-line?
I would like to try and make use of the remaining vision I have - I am a =
JAWS user, but cannot help trying to see what is on the screen. So I'd =
like to purchase a large display, 20 or 22 inch if possible.
Are there any issues for JAWS with respect to compatibility with larger =
screens.
Can anyone recommend a supplier?
Can any one recommend a particular system?
Below is some of my wish list:
as quiet as possible as I do a lot of audio work.
As large a RAM as I can afford as I often use multiple programmes.
Very quick.
300 500 GB of memory.
room for expansion as I fancy getting into audio editing and DVD =
burning.
at least 6 USb 2's.
Non Wireless Keyboard and Mouse.
Please add to the above list if you feel I've left something important =
out.
Finally, I'm willing to pay up to =A31000.
Any advise very welcome.
Best wishes.
Andy
