Hmm. the last time I looked at Eclipse computers, my local outfit in
Coventry, and checked out their custom built systems

 http://www.eclipsecomputers.com/systemlist.aspx?cat=1

W7 was still an option. Next year I'm hoping to go for one of their i5 (or
even i7) machines from their DIY kit page

Sticking with Motherboard video (I don't play games) and re-using my
existing case and PSU I'm looking at around 500 quid for an i5.
