Seems all OK, what do you want to do with it?

 

[Techy]

just want a faster machine seen as i spend most of my life lookin at a monitor. and playin the additional game.

Want a decent video card but nothin ridiculously expensive.

 

[Anon_F]

Good Motherboard, CPU & RAM which are the main things to get right, PCI-E Graphics Cards seem to be coming down in price which helps. Having a decent 19" TFT helps as well. You obviously have looked at what you want out of the machine, so go for it

cheers mate, ordered.

Haven't really kept up with the hardware world.

 

[Me__2001]

all sounds good to me, the 2GB of RAM and dual core CPU get a big

 

[Techy]

Cool, Cheers ME.

Should get it on Monday. Can see a few sick days comin on.

Looks good 80GB drive going to be enough for you?

Yep. I keep all MP3s etc on a file server.

Software & Applications dont take up a lot of HDD space, but games do.

 

[Techy]

I can always buy another disk if i run out of space, it's not a problem
