Sorry Trotter. Wait I go to barbone systems and they're quite cheap and they show the parts separately, they are all included, so do they do they labour (Tiger direct)
What does it mean though Barebone?

Barebones means its got just bare essentials and not all the peices... They'll put it together, at a cost though.
Some of the kits don't have gpus, some dn;'t have psus.
You need to read carefully and buy all the other parts. You'll then have to assemble it, and hope it boots.

so if I buy this kit, what else will I need?
Also if it's a newer system, do you think I'd still be able to an IDE HD?

Canada Computers - Desktop PCs > Ready-to-Go PCs : Visionary I5060 - AMD Athlon 64 X2 240, ATI RADEON X2100 Graphics, 2GB DDR2 800, 320GB HDD, DVD±R/RW Writer.
Do you think this computer is worth the price? And how many HD do you think could fit inside?
Also would I be able to use a HD cooler in that case patonb? You've been such a great help, like my guru

I'm no guru... Why would you want a hd cooler??
Probably holds 3 drives.
Is it worth 300? Barely.. but it doesn't have the OS.. The laptop in your sig is better..
You need a bigger budget, and it might be a waste to buy crappier stuff, then just hold off till you get more cash.

The cpu is the good part actually. low end psu, the onboards not very good.
