Bought a computer worth the name.
see my usual idea is that since i will probably be at sea for most of my computers lifespan there was no real point paying or anything more than a low mid range PCworld piece of sh*t.
Since i am now leaving her majesties service i figured i would set up a decent system once i had moved. But at with all good plans, my current PC suffered the dreaded "blue screen of death" i think it's probably just the aging graphics card but since it was low mid range 3 years ago i saw no point in just replacing that.
so i took the plunge and purchased This... Now i am sure for $1200 you could easily pick up better stateside but this is plenty good enough for me and extremely cheap for the price in the UK.
Gaming has just got a whole lot better!!

Avast! Not a bad deal at all for UK prices.
I spent about the same on a self-build so specs are a bit higher, but not massively so.
Oh and if you tend to use a dual monitor set-up, don't bother with a 2nd graphics card. 2xGfx SLI craps back to single monitor only :-(
What OS?

Grats and I hate you.
My computer is almost dead, I've had no luck finding a decent replacement at a decent cost. I have priced out the parts and am a step away form just buying it and trying to put it together myself, however I have never built a rig from the ground up before so I am still a little bit hesitant.
If only there were more options in Canada for computer e-stores.

Take time to learn the differences from XP, turn off the **** security controls and enjoy.

Vista ultimate on both my rigs here, works fine so far. Had some quirks initially, but everything is stable these days.
Seems like a decent enough machine.

I've been thinking of getting a very similar computer to that one, which in Belgium would cost me about 1600 USD, without OS.
Looks like you'll be ready for a couple more years of gaming with that computer!

If I can ever get an extra $200 scratched together I'm upgrading my obsolete P4. I can get an Athlon X2, motherboard and 2gb RAM for $170 from Newegg.
