Microdirect?

I (think I) remember Butty said he worked at MicroDirect in the past, and was again just looking at the 'base units'. I was just wondering if anyone knew if you could add your own stuff to it when you got it home without voiding warranty.

I'll be wanting to put a silent fan in, a SB Live Platinum AND a Soundblaster Audigy2 (backslot board and external drivebay) plus my 80GB hardisk.

Its just an idea at the minute, I priced up some components that make up a similar spec system at a shop in town and the microdirect bundle saves me over 100quid and is built already, with only my stuff needing adding. Giving the hassle I have with puters, the warranty may be useful! lol, although if I save over 100 quid, that hundred quid could be used to fix any problems with it locally.

I may just build my own yet, I dunno. I can try and expand it with chips, cards, new case, new soundcard to complement my existing one, CDRW drive and 128DDR graphics etc.......but it sounds too much like hassle to me!

Just pondering....

See ya

Sirius.
