    There is some good stuff on pcspecialist.co.uk

    their custom PC's, theres up to 1TB HDD's, 4GB RAM, top of the range GFX cards and more. ideal for what you want. but will be expensive for the best stuff.

    Ahh ok..
    would you like a prebuilt system or would you build one yourself?
    When putting this all together, do we need to include a monitor? How about an OS? If so which one?

    nah mate you should build it yourself. I built my first machine a month ago. It just took a little longer. Its all self explainitory as all the stuff slots in where you think it does and there are video tutorials for every bit. You will save like $200, that could mean the difference between a crt and a 19' lcd.

    he means operating system, like windows, linux distros, mac OS/X, solaris etc.

    here's what I would suggest for the 1000$ budget

    AMD Athlon @x 3800+
    x800GTO
    1gig dual channel ram
    80gig HD x2 in RAID0
    windows XP Pro 64

    and really, having someone else build it costs about 100$ extra and it takes about 20 mins to put the computer to gether and then you just pop in a windows disc and watch TV while the comp prinstalls everything.

    EDIT: here's a guid to building comps...

    1. Find case and put little mount screws into case
    2. screw motherboard into case
    3. insert processort carefully(make sure ti is in the correct direction and don't force it)
    4. insert ram(hardest part of building a comp just slide it in slow ly applying minimal from one edge to the next, kind of rock it in)
    5. insert auxillery cards
    6.install HDDs and optical drives by screwing them to the case
    7. plug in PSU and IDE ribons
    8. close case


    computer is thereby built.

    most people do. if you have the extra 50$, i'd go for XP pro 64 though, it's a stepping stone to windows vista. it should have software coded for it for a longer time than regular XP and it has a few extras in with it, like the capacity to hold more than 4 gigs of ram etc.
