I've not looked at the current one but I did try to match one of their machines in the past.
At best I could just about match the cost for parts alone so imo they are a good deal (like I said I havent looked at the latest one)
The problem was that each store only got about 6 or 7 machines to sell so it was very unlikely you would actually be in the position to buy one!

Do you reckon I should get one? I'm about 75% I'm getting it. I have my tent ready and everything.

If you're not up to building your own then they are a good deal.
Just had a quick look, seems okay. Never seen a SCART socket on a PC before! Couldnt find any english sites with the Radeon 9800 XXL, all foreign.
You will still need a monitor though
Personnally I would build my own but if it isnt your thing, then it seems fine

How much cheaper? I added a lot of the stuff up at the average priced Ebuyer (maybe?) and it came to a little over the price?

Yeh! you're probably about right, like I said I tried it once before and came out about the same, a little cheaper maybe but not too much in it.
Of course, by building it yourself you can choose your parts better, upgrade, downgrade as you choose and manipulate the price a little.
What I will say though is that you get a FAR better feeling of satisfaction when you build your first PC than buying one complete.
