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.
