RE: [OT] looking for "sexy" PC case...

["Matthew Keay" <m@xxxxxxx>]

1) Yep..
2) Ram is so cheap, and its a tiny tiny case.. :)
3) <grin>
4). Does it look as sexy as the one @ overclockers? :) I might just settle
for a Compaq Deskpro EN or similar style, which should be pretty cheap,
then
hide it out of the way...

Few comments:

1: Is the sound card on-board then?

2: If you have a second, say 2Gb IDE hard disk lying around, put it in
and dedicate it to swap space! (having your swap on a physically
different disk always makes things faster.)

3: A free Operating system, then ;-)

4: Strange as it seems, you can pick up an _OK_ PC from PC World for
£350 including VAT. Might this be a better starting point than the
barebones + CPU + RAM?
