I'm no Windows specialist (I could tell you the price of any Mac :p), but I'd say about £600... Now, time for the BBC News at 10 o'clock... :thumbsup:

maybe something like $150 for the monitor and $400-$500 so about $550-$650 it also depends on the speed of the RAM, wheather its DDR or SDRAM or not. so I would say about 400 pounds or so would be about right...

256MB DDR333 PC2700

184 Pin DDR SDRAM Dimms 184 Pin DDR Dimms are designed for the latest desktops and servers. Each 184 Pin Dimm provides a 64-bit data path, so they can be installed singly in 64-bit systems. To use DDR memory, your system motherboard must have 184-pin DIMM slots and a DDR-enabled chipset. DDR SDRAM (Double Data Rate-Synchronous DRAM) is a type of SDRAM that supports data transfers on both edges of each clock cycle, effectively doubling the memory chip's data throughput



Im not quite sure, lol...
