Off the shelf,i bought an HP Pavillion,model number A6150,from John Lewis,with 2 year guarantee,without monitor for £650.
Specs are
Quad core q6600,2.4ghz
2gb ram
nvidia 8400sg graphics card,256mb ram,analogue svideo & dvi & hdmi output.
dual layer drive.
6 x usb
2 x firewire
other audio sockets which i haven't used
built in card reader 15 in 1
Vista home premium.
i just added a double esata port(£5 from maplin) on the rear for connecting an external harddrive.
The pc also comes with a seperate "pocket" portable harddrive,80gb, wich slides in and out of the front of the pc,much like a vhs cassette goes into a video recorder.
I have vegas pro 8 on this and it renders fast ! ie HD down to SD in about 2x.
I connected my Samsung monitor and it looks sweet.
