i have just compared the scan prices to the itemised prices of a computer i am building at the moment, from redstore.com and dabs... scan was significantly lower, i am going to check the other few later...
but, check out redstore, they are significantly cheaper on some fronts...

look out for P&P, scan is at least £10 last time I ordered from em.
www.theoverclockingstore.co.uk have good prices, and free P&P

AMD Athlon 1700Xp
(its worth getting the 1800 methinks) £50
256 MB 333Mhz DDR.
again uber vague but me suggest, Crucial 256MB DDR PC2700 £60
Abit Motherboard.
riiiight. Epox 8K9A2+ £110
60Gb H/d
go for the 80gig western digital special edition, muchos niceness £95
128Mb Geforce 4 Ti4800.
never heard of this card
but i would go for the ti4200, the ati 9700, or wait for the new nvidea card (the n3?)
16 x DVDRom
£40 about.
Soundblaster 5.1
these cards can have problems with games such as bf1942 or ofp, ( i did, and some other people did) get the audigy £40, or use onboard
10/100 Network Card.
the onboard on that card is good, otherwise get a d-link card for £15 or so
Atx Case
get the chieftech scorpio, sexy beast, £80 or so.
well yeah thats my 2 cents, (or 490 quid)
good luck

The Geforce 4 ti 4800 is just a ti 4600 with 8x AGP, there is also the ti 4800se which is the ti 4400 with 8x AGP.

Overclocking your AGP port past 1x is totally pointless. If you're uploading textures on a per frame basis, yer in trouble anyways, main RAM is FAR too slow for that sort of thing.
So... yeah.

anyway after peoples ideas on the new ati 9700 i would go for that one, or wait the new nvidea card.

Meh
State of the art video card = pointless. The features won't be used for 18 months to 2 years.

People don't buy graphics cards for the features (I think 3Dfx found that out, the hard way), they buy them for their performance in the current crop of games.
Best bet to stay fairly current is wait til about 6 months and buy the 'one model below bleeding edge' version of whatever the fastest card is (probably the ATI Radeon 9700 at the mo)

also get 3 sticks of that ram, i have a ti4200 which i love, but i got the impression he had money to blow on top spec?
