Looks like I'll be searching for my Win XP disc.. then again, I have a Ubuntu disc on its way, can I run that without having XP installed?
@Mellors, cheers, I actually realised before seeing your post! Thanks for the reminder though! :p
@Judas, that should work. The ATX tower cases are pretty similar to the Dells, but I shall have a look before I decide, cheers mate.
@kanniel, believe me it is possible, considering I have added up the total of my items chosen so far and it's £172 (no case or os).
