Re: New Computer

Ritchie, thanks very much for your comprehensive and detailed reply. I would really like to use one of the local guys and would be more than willing to spend a bit more to give them the business. I think it would be worth it both to support local business and for piece of mind should I need any help. One of the guys is only five minutes walk away. Using the Dell site gave me a good idea of what I was after spec. wise and I think I'd pay more, maybe 10-15% to get it built locally. It's also nice to have some face to face contact when you're spending a fair chunk of cash.
I am on a BT line and that router you linked to looks ideal. I was looking at a BT Home Hub earlier today but am not too sure about them. They did get a good review from WU but probably the Belkin one would be more appropriate.
By installation files, do you mean the .exe files that you download first off? If so, I've got pretty much all of them saved in separate folder so I take it it would be just a case of installing the apps using those files once they are copied across to the new computer?
Again, thanks for your time, it's much appreciated. As you have probably gathered, it my first computer change over and will be my first foray into the world of wireless networking.
