How do you figure that?  Beta Board (mobo/cpu/ram) is 1,150 GBP.  If you add in case, gfx card, hd, dvd, and whatever else a end user wants plus UK's new 20% VAT, your probably looking at least 1,700 GBP.


Quite! And now let's put this in context. The UK is likely heading for the second dip recession.

I bought a BMW 735 on Ebay 2 years ago.

It has leather throughout, electric seats,
It's more comfy than my living room, it has an electric sunroof.
The Hi-fi is the best sounding system I have ever owned.
Everything on it works as expected. Apart from servicing I haven't spent any more money on it.
When I floor it, I hear Captain Picard say 'Engage' and the world goes streaky. Doing 100MpH on autocruise feels like 30Mph in my old Ford.

I paid £1100 for it.

Would I swap it for a hobby motherboard with a deadend processor architecture?

No M'Lud!
