Re: New Hardware..suggestions?

My budget is about 3-400 quid - that's not as bad as it sounds, as I don't need HDDs (I have about 4 SATA 10k rpm, and a few 36gb SCSI discs sitting about doing nothing, along with a decent PCI scsi controller), I don't need monitors - I have 2 doing nothing - a 19in and a ...
