    AMD processor is crap. Slow and uses more power than the sun.

    ATI make tulip graphics cards that tend to be unstable.

    For that money you could get a decent quad core Intel box.

          Precision ™ Desktop Workstation T1500

          DDR III Ram, Intel i5-750 (quad core processor), Nvidia Quadro graphics.

          Costs a wee bit more (About £600+VAT) but performance.

          Dell.

            I'm not an ATI fan either. But if this is for a workstation, you don't need any specialist graphics at all unless you make games or something like that.

              Try Mesh Computers. Very good specs. Not the cheapest though but you get what you pay for.

              Under no circumstances would I recommend pc desktop options ltd.

              Had a very nasty episode with them where I had to invoke SOGA, DSR's, Trading Standards and the credit card company to get my money back on a piss poor base unit from them.

              Oh did I say their customer service was shyte with a capital 'S'?
              I couldn't give two fornicators! Yes, really!

                Or play games on it in your spare time, or are interested in CUDA.
