Well iv looked around for a new pc, and came up with this one, but after posting it on a few forums some say they wouldent feel riped off at the price, others say its very bad value for money:

Soooo, im going to buy all the components myself, and get someone elce to build it as id probably nacker all the parts doing it myself.
Iv got a maximum budget of £2000 ($3500) But would rather keep it below £1500 so i have extra to upgrade later, for extras or XP Pro.
Processor - AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+
Im not gonna get the 4800+ as i cant justify spending £200 more for an extra 200mhz when I can just have it overclocked = to the 4800+ (i think so anyway
)

Monitors - 3x Samsung 19" TFTs

These were the most popular on ebuyer, so picked these, though if there are some better cheaper ones you can recomend?
And well this is where i need help :/
Although I wont be playing games on this pc, i do want a fairly decent Graphics Card, which will work well with 3 monitors, and be able to connect to a TV via S-Video for when I watch videos on my tv.
For HD space, i want atleast 500gbs, maybe 2x 300gb and have one of those RAID things. (I have no idea what RAID is but lots of people talk about it so i guessing its good?)
For everything elce, Motherboard, 2GB Memory etc, i just want the most compatible with the processor, and a motherboard which will be stable with the processor overclocked.
Im not to botherd about the look of the case, i want one with the best cooling and space to hold all this together, so not looking for one with 100 LEDs on.
And well, also anything iv missed that that system has that i could do with having, Hope you guys can help
