I'll explain this very briefly to you. A guy in my DT class managed to make his dream computer for £300 and he enthusiastically railled that it was easy to get an amazing computer for that price. I have £500 floating in my bank account, unused through steady accumulation. Therefore I made the decision to run headlong into this as a new project. The following are the results of an internet hunt for components which all work together and hopefully don't cost too much as a new computer to put in my room. I haven't included a monitor because they cost loads and I'm over budget already. Here's what I found:
