Upgrading PC
So, I've just made my final payment on my PC. My current PC is starting to fall over, crashing and various errors etc and I think it's about time to change anyway, I'll pay by installments so won't cost me anymore.
With windows 7 its the perfect timing, but what to get. Dell seem to only do a limited number of Windows 7 PCs, and actually the only ones they have are Alienware. I know that means an extra cost for build quality. here's one I've seen, its an Aurora ALX, but costs £1216.99 or £40/mth. Specs are as follows:-
COLOUR CHOICEAlienware Aurora Standard Cosmic Black Chassis editPROCESSORIntel?

I've seen one from PC world, an Acer Aspire M7721 for £929.99 as follows:-
Any advice or other suggestions? I think £1000ish is what i'm looking for, I don't need a monitor, just the PC itself. I want it to be pretty kick ass and long lasting, but not MESH, I've had issues with them in the past as have friends.
Help appreciated, thanks all :)
