Hi Adrian.
I had a look at the link and I'm getting server not found. Not sure if I'm
up to creating a computer from scratch, I would not know one cooling system
from another. Do they not have off-the-shelf computers for sale Adrian?
Are you a JAWS user? Dave from this list was saying this morning that it's
getting difficult to get hold of a stockist who has xp home, now that VISTA
is with us.
Best wishes.
Andy
