[Praetor]

Yes indeed, either give a budget or give a basic spec & intent-of-usage

A nice 1.5-2.0ghz min
a decent 128meg graphics card capable of playing HL2
512ram DDR

Large HDD probably 80gig(ish)

Monitor,
At least 4usb ports for my printers/cams, on the front,
and Room for a second HDD or a another cd/dvd rw

Dude a GeForce3Ti500 can play HL2 (and i've checked) ... not too well but it's capable ... somewhere between a GF3Ti500 and a GF4Ti4200 is the minimum for HL2. Ideally anything above Ti4400 can handle HL2.

You can throw in a soundcard or use the Soundstorm. Your call if you want to get a monitor at the cost of cheaping out on some of the parts

Mmmm.. well the nets not a problem I got a usb DSL modem.. but I'd prefer to look for a complete system/tower instead of building one,

Thank you mate.

Then get some store to build you a custom rig

[Hellfire]

then it costs alot more if I buy it, second hand I don't mind but a brand new one would set me back alot, up and even a grand

[Praetor]

then it costs alot more if I buy it

I dont live over in England but it shouldnt be too different: it wont cost more ... wait that's a bad way of saying it. I should say "you will end up spending a certain amount of money anyways, you might as well get a good system or at least a system with parts you want rather than some jumbaloo of cheap parts scrambled together ot make the most profit"

1. if you CAN'T build it yourself...learn.
2. if you're too busy to build it yourself...make time.
3. if you're just too lazy to build it yourself...get off your butt.

in my opinion there is NO excuse to not build your own computer. its worth it, you learn more, you have fun...i dont see why people go and spend $2K on a manufactured computer when you could save $300 (estimate) immediate and overtime probably alot more. manufacturer upgrades will drain your wallet. just an opinion...
