    64 bit PC recommendations

    Time for a new desktop, I'm thinking of going for a brand name this time as much as I like geeking around with hardware when they go tits up - I'd rather pass on a cheapo Frankenstein this time round.

    So I'm looking at the HP Pavilion Elite HPE-350uk and HP Pavilion Elite HPE-380uk so far, can see them quite a bit cheaper than the HP site here and here.

    Just need the box - no screen/keyboards/mice etc.

    Any comments? Opinions?

    If you don't want to build your own I can recommend these guys- PC Specialist. You get to choose the components on line which gets you the spec you want without the hassle of building it. I generally build my own but I have sometimes found these guys supply ready built for less than than I can build my own. HTH.

        Novatech do a range of pre-built PC's with varying specs. I bought one and have been very pleased with it:

        PC Components, Desktop PCs, Laptops, LCD TVs & Computer Hardware

          I have found that using those guys, DIY is often the same as buying ready built.

            That's interesting, but it's a shame they don't (like the Dell site) show the prices of all the different options.

            Is it still possible to buy a 32-bit PC?
            Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

              I guess you could ask for 32 bit Windoze if you wanted?

                Nah, all the desktop processors have been 64bit for a long time. It just took the operating systems a while to support them mainstream.
