John,

Thanks for the Novatech suggestion. It may well be what I need - I had noticed 
that their fully built systems are fairly cheap and wondered whether I would 
be able to cannibalize one. The barebones approach would be preferable.

What I'll probably do is negotiate with one or two people who have offered to 
do it, and if the price for the job is too high then I'll think harder about 
the Novatech idea.

My biggest fear starting from scratch would be getting the right combination 
of motherboard, PSU, cards etc. and they clearly provide you with most of 
that sorted out to start with.

But my experience with installing things in the PC discourages me from doing 
it myself unless I absolutely have to.

With thanks,

Christopher
