    Exclamation Hit a Problem

    After sorting out the custom build PC, to £937 I have just hit a problem.

    I have completely forgot about the OS.

    Current'y at £937, I would like to get Windows 7 on release.

    But the cheapest I can get it (From Vista to 'eligible' to Windows 7 on release) is £90.

    Can you get it cheaper than this?

    Thanks,

    Dom

    (I am really trying to keep the PC to about £900)

    Which you can increase by rearming it for something like 120days.

    Even better. You can wait until W7 comes out then.

    Hey,

    What do you mean by 'Rearming' it?

    Sounds like a plan

    Cheers guys.

    "Rearming" basically means resetting the expiration timer.

    Or you could just torrent a cracked version of Vista, I downloaded an uncracked but had a legal serial code so meh... Just look around really, I got my OS (Windows Vista Ultimate) for free thanks to Jamesy and Berch, you just gotta look around and theres usually someone who will help you out.
