I have a friend who is a bit of a techno-phile....he is looking to replace his PC, and was after something cool and unique (I talked him out of the idea of getting an iMac). He's also kind of set on the idea of getting a PC with solid state drives, as he thinks this would put him further along the cool wall also. I think his budget is around £1000-1500.
So....can anyone a) recommend anywhere that sells PCs with SSDs, as I can't seem to find very many when browsing about, or would the SSDs generally have to be purchased separately and fitted to a PC, and b) where are the places that do the coolest, funkiest PCs? Alienware sprang to mind but I've heard a lot of conflicting stories about them, and I always thought they were generally aimed at gamers. For the record, my friend just wants his PC for web browsing, downloading, doing his accounts - nothing highly specialised. I'd also like to be able to just point him at a website where he could get something pre-built - I've got enough work to do chasing after my two two-year-olds and I'd rather not get involved in building him a system :-) As always, TIA JRR -- "On two occasions...I have been asked, 'Pray, Mr Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?'
