    It fits the budget, we worked it out carefully.
    £200 is 200GBP - crazy British here.

    Yeah dabs.com are awesome.

    Thats where I bought pretty much all my parts when I was upgrading to the system in my sig.

    I try to use them or overclockers.co.uk whenever I can because most of the shops in Glasgow are conmen.

    You should revise your sig so your posts don't take up a 1/2 page...

    Just a thought.
