Looking for recommendations

Hi all, I'm looking for recommendations on a new development machine
to replace my Inspiron 9100.

I do a lot of graphics / software development so require 2 gb ram
minimum, plenty of disk space and generaly good kit thats gonna last
me a while. The purchase wasnt planned but i've been getting a lot of
hardware issues with my Dell so its time to upgrade.

I've been looking at the HP Pavillion 9590 -

which seems like a great spec for the price, but without ever using
one I'm wondering if its going to be the power hungry horse that my
Dell is ?

One thing I really hate about the Dell and if i'd have know I wouldnt
have bought it is the noise the thing makes. I got it when they first
came out with a 3.4Ghz P4 in it and boy does it generate heat, so the
fans are always very active.

I'm looking to spend no more than £1200 so if anyone has any thoughts/
recommendations or reviews on the HP above it'd be appreciated to hear
what you've to say.

Thanks.
