As a complete machine, this is wonderful to use and it wouldn’t be if it wasn’t for the quality of each component chosen. It’s silent and powerful – a deadly combination. If we didn’t need it for testing with, I’d be taking it straight home with me. As proven in my Core 2 Duo review, the older Core Duo processor is still very capable and the added bonus of an upgrade to Core 2 Duo (Merom) is appreciated. The SilverStone SG-01 is £89.99 from Kustom PCs, which is not an unreasonable price. It’s also available in a rather fetching black too, should silver not fit in with your current arrangements. The Asus N4L-VM DH is available from Dabs for £94.21, once again not an unreasonable price. Finally, the Sapphire X1600 PRO HDMI. There isn’t a lot of competition in this area, so one could suggest it gets recommended for it’s HDMI feature alone, but Sapphire has done an excellent job of making this a great overall package, with everything you’ll need to get a PC connected to an HDTV. I struggled to find this 256MB card on the market, but the 128MB version is available for around the £95 mark, but has a larger cooler. I expect this to be similarly priced and well worth the money.
