The case on the 2nd one looks much better !!!

It also has a better graphics card and front USB ports which is useful. You won't see much diff in the CPU speed so i'd forget that.

2nd one seems to be better VFM - was just checking around in case the other one was any better

Those MSI CDRW's are absolute wank, and are very prone to failing alot. Becareful if u do buy one of those systems.

Alternatively you could try where i work

www.gladiatorcomputers.com

we can also build to your specification

naa i wouldnt bother with the wireless m+k. Not only do they eat batteries but the mice isn't as responsive as normal ones. Get urself an MS Intellimouse or Explorer (optical of course).

The speakers are good, was going to get these myself but i dont think they're THX certified are they? I went for the Logitech Z-560s 4.1 but thats all i really need when playing games. Don't watch DVDs on the computer anyway. They were Â£59.99 at PCWorld.

Good choice on the computer, I'd stick with AMD anyday.

Hope it all goes well for ya matey
