    1. What is your budget?
    €500-€700

    2. What will be the main purpose of the computer?
    Internet browsing, website development, programming robots (mechanical kind), conversion of movies (for my mobile gadgets). Managing/editing photos and the odd video clip. Ability to run the odd VM.

    3. Do you need a copy of Windows?
    No - have W7-64 already.

    4. Can you use any parts from an old computer?
    SSD - Plextor PX-256 M5 Pro (256Gb),
    HDD - Seagate Momentus st9320325as (325Gb),
    RAM - 2 x 2Gb - DDR2 PC2-6400, DDR2 (non-ECC),
    BD - Internal BluRay drive (Optiarc BD RW BD-5756H)

    No.

    5a. If yes, what size do you need.
    ---

    5b. If no, what resolution is your current monitor and do you plan to upgrade in the near future?
    Philips 190WV (19", 1440 x 900). Will get 1-2 new ones at a later date.

    Onboard Wifi if possible
    4+ SATA 3 sockets
    4+ USB3 sockets
    HDMI socket

    7. Are you willing to try overclocking?
    No

    8. How can you pay?
    Credit card

    9. When are you purchasing?
    2 weeks

    10. If you need help building it, where are you based?
    No help required. Have some knowledge on putting the parts together (except attaching cooling units to CPU).


    Comments:
    Prefer a very quiet machine
    Low power consumption while idling
    Will need to be able to connect 2-3 monitors at a later date
    If the RAM from the old computer is not compatible, I'll buy some new ones
    Space is a premium - case size is somewhere between mini to midi
