I'd like to buy this one, or build pc by my self. Anyone knows where can I get cheap parts? (Mobo, graphics, rams, etc)
It would be great that someone combine me a PC for 1000 pounds, or a bit more. Because im confused at the moment. Buy PC from store, or build my own..

Building the PC yourself will give you a feel of gratification :) At least it did for me :D

Prices wise..... It all depends. Most of the time you will get better parts when you build it yourself plus you don't get all the "garbage" from the Manufacturer like HP adds to the PC.

I am not familiar with the UK money system so I need to google what 1,000 pounds is lol

Don't look now "APPLE" but it would appear that HP can put together a computer that looks as good inside as my Power Mac does. Very clean looking. :D

So can you guys help with parts? It should look like:
* 2-4 DDR2 ram
* Quad core procesor or i7
* Up to 8 gygabites motherboard
* 512 mb or 1gb graphic card (or double 512mb)
* Hdd capicity is not the main thing but minimum 250-500gb

I will add other peripherals later, like sound card, case, and other things.
Thank you :D and waiting for best answer.

The Blackbird is the only HP available on the Harrods website, it's a Harrods exclusive in the UK, that does not have a price :(

Looks like it may be one of those things where "If you have to ask the price, you can't afford it" which used to be the old motto for Harrods, I believe ;)
