    Doesn't "special item" mean it's a return i.e. box opened already? I don't know if I'd fancy that to save a couple of euro

    Each item has an individual warranty. There is a blanket 2 year warranty. Some products have an individual warranty of more than 2 years, which I expect overrides the blanket one.

    HWVS is held in high regard on this site, and indeed, by me. I have only one hour ago made my third major purchase from them; they are prompt and reliable, very good value too.

    I believe they have been accommodating with members here that have had to return defective items.

    They get a big thumbs up from me :)

    Since when do germans offer a service if it's not being done right? :D

    In fairness, they can't give any guarantee on the state of the computer when it arrives to you, as it's being handled by a courier service (who may or may not employ apes). A fully built PC is more susceptible to damage than individual components in transit, particularly if it gets thrown around.

    I'd be confident it's assembled correctly when leaving HWVS. I wouldn't be as confident it'd arrive the same way.

    Actually, regarding the build itself; I don't like seeing money being spent unnecessarily. A budget is a budget, not a target.

    I dislike the RAM argument (ah sher it's so cheap, why not). 4GB is plenty good. And depending on how media-intensive this person is, dropping the HDD to 500GB is another possibility.

    Dropping to 500GB is not an option this person is huge into media storage usuage bla bla. In regards to the motherboard the one i have above is not in stock for a while so what would be a good replacement for similar price.

    Fair enough. I stand by the RAM comment, though :)

    You could switch it around a bit, drop the CPU to a G645 and the ram to 4GB, and then get a 2TB hard drive. Would suit a media/storage orientated person far better and is still lightning fast for those purposes.
