As to speed of a PC Colin dont worry about getting something thats too fast ... no one ever complained about that. Go for the fastest you can afford or want to spend. Even for your computing needs fast is wonderful. Bit like, would you get more joy out of a lathe that can take a 5 thou pass or one that can do 100 (or what ever you chaps think is great).
You can put a PC together I reckon, particularly if you go for a tested bundle. The hardest thing is finding all the best things to put in the box but you would learn a lot. Lots of Forums (Ebuyer I think has one).
Would you get Colchester in to put a lathe together that was new but in bits ... Cause not. Buying a ready built PC from Dell and getting locked into them and learning nothing would be as alien to me as that.
