Newbuild - restricted choice of parts

Looks do-able in terms of upgrading & overclocking. Make sure the mobo is S3 or DS3.

Newegg don't deliver outside the US, do they? I'm from the UK.

I'd rather pay it upfront and shop around for the cheapest prices, but that didn't go down quite so well. Something about nappies that needed buying, or something. :?

Didn't life used to be so much simpler?

That all looks good.
Dabs tends to charge a little extra on all prices which is bad, but the credit equals that out.
I would try scan.co.uk as they offer a 6 month credit (yes I know there a big difference between 6 months and 3 years).
But as there prices are lower so you would be able to pay it back sooner.
Although I don't see why you couldn't earn £600+ during the summer, in a cafe or pub.

Anyways a good setup which should last sometime, although you may want to wait for the 8 series to drop in price before you buy.

Right, I'm going to show my ignorance here: whats the 8 series?

I have OEM Windows XP Pro x86 running on about 5 different computers. The same copy. What, are the M$ police going to show up at your house and kill you in your sleep?That's why I said legally. According to your license agreement that you made with Microsoft by simply installing it the first time, it says, paraphrased, that your OEM copy of Windows is tethered to your motherboard. I am very sure that there are so many ways to get around, and Microsoft doesn't care enough to start a lawsuit on a guy who only "stole" 4 copies of the software...

Nothing to stop me from doing the same exact thing as you do. Call em up, lie about it, and it's all good.


Note: I may be a little wrong about the exacts, but OEM is one-license per computer for system-builders. That's why it's half the price of Retail.
