    Thanks guys. I've opted for this instead as the one above cannot be customized with firewire port:

    Alienware Aurora Matte Black 525W Chassis 1 £1,324.16

    3.4GHz Intel® Core i7 2600k
    16GB RAM
    1Gb Nvidia gtx
    2TB HDD
    Win 7 64bit

    Total price £1608 inc VAT
    Discounted to £1450
    You could add Firewire with a PCI-E X1 card. (The port would be in the rear I/O panel, which can be inconvenient.)

    Alternately, why not assemble one yourself? I'm not in the UK, but at amazon.co.uk, a shopping list:

    I7-2600k
    Asus A8Z68-V Pro
    16 GB Corsair Vengeance memory kit (4X4GB)
    GTX 560 ti
    Gigabyte Triton 180 case (not sure it takes a 9" long graphics card like the 560 ti)
    Corsair 600CX power supply
    WDC Caviar Black 2TB HD
    Microsoft Windows Home Premium X64 OEM

    can be had for £1000. (You could go with a cheaper graphics card, if you're not planning on gaming. You might like a nicer case, or a heftier power supply.) You wouldn't get the racy (?) Alienware case, or a system level warranty.

    I agree with bobkn, you can build a better computer, with the quality of parts YOU want for less money.

Thank you for reading. I need to get two desktops for a new office I am opening and I am on a budget. My uses are super-basic; most of what i do is in the cloud, I have one local CRM (that is fairly RAM-light) and otherwise just web browsing. The deal is for two Dell Optiplex Refurbs, each...

My video card is about the only thing not up to spec now in my system. I'm not really a gamer but might start playing every once in a while. I also do some photo/video editing. I came across a few different cards on craigslist. One is a Radeon HD 4850 and the other is a HD 4870, both with 512mb...
