If you are buying, then buy the cheapest...................otherwise build your own or get someone to do it for you?

I have built stuff for around £250 that have been perfectly adequate for the user requirements. Shop bought stuff is aimed at what their marketing men think will sell?

I think that home entertainment/theatre is a classic example? with music or a film, everything will happen at exactly the same time and place...................do you need an i7 for that?
