hi guys, my old HP 2630ea came to an end the other day and i need to replace it. it ran windows vista and windows media centre which was great running through my hi fi and telly. now i would like to replace it with another entertainment lap top but would also like it to sound nice (im a vinyl man at heart)so i was wondering if anyone could recommend a decent budget lap top package , or would it be better to build one from scratch?
