Think this was worth it?...
Mum's bf got a new computer cause he fried the processor on his old setup so he offered me the old setup for £32.50 (the balance on his credit card bill :P )
so the setup goes as such.... MSI MS-7184 mobo 2x 512mb pc3200 ram ATI x1600 pro graphics card (on PCIe) 160gb Hard Drive (think its a seagate one  )so i just threw in the AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200 i got for about £40 and thats me running a new setup :P thinking i should up the cooling in it since its only stock heatsinks and fans... also,upgrade the gfx card to something like a 8600 GT i think.... pity i only have a few crappy CRT monitors in the house...although in the middle of converting a old dead laptops monitor to use with it  alright for £72 in total i think.  what do you's think?

Indeed, VERY nice setup for the price, man! Good score on that one!
 (Sidenote- Seagate isn't bad, I dunno why the frowny face)

Great deal. I've never had a problem with Seagate btw, all my drives are Seagate. They have a good warranty plan too.
