I think they haven't given me much discount this time after realising that I am capable of getting a Sony 17" FD Triniton monitor.

They have added $425! just for the changes I made after the first configuration! But when I replied them asking to itemise each item they ignored it. :(

McoreD,

Have you looked on ebay for any deal? I won a bid for this same system for $532.50 US dollars:

With shipping and money order fees it tacked on only another hundred bucks, though shipping to Oz might be a bit more it's still worth a shot ;)

Another good way of doing it is shop for the best prices around the net get the quotations and etc. and then decide what you want then go to a shop show them the prices that you found for each item and then ask them if they can build it to match if not beat the cost of what you found. That way you get wht you want as well as know you havent been cheated. It may take a little more ttime than if you were to buy a prebuilt and customize but its worth it in the long run and for your pocket (no hidden on-board garbage).

Since you vid card has TV out usally you can pick up used 19" -25" TV's mega cheap I know that the picture quality is not the same butb Plasma screens will drop to around $100 bucks this x-mas. Then you can have the best of both worlds.
The same thing with DVD-Burners. Watch and see, But buy your RAM now I don't know as much about Intel Mobo's but I know that the sockect A Mobo, Your better to run (2) 256MB DDR of the the same brand is faster than one 512MB stick alone. Not sure if the same is true of the P4.
