i agree with u mark, but the guy stated that he has a serious lack of money. If he had of put "i have a budget of £1500 - £2000 etc etc " id of recommended hardware too, and with him being a student i think some of us presume the guy has a computer, so he cud get started straight away really

to the guy, like above if u got the money get hardware, if u dont have the money then u gotta work round it
