Don't quote me because I'm not sure, but my 'we-don't-need-a-new-pc-even-though-Baldurs-Gate-2-is-one-of-the-most-recent-games-it-can-actually-run' dad might be starting to crack... Well, if my charm works, I might be getting this baby...
Looks good to me. Any comments? Oh and there is one thing want to ask: All the components seem good, but I'm having doubts about XP Home Edition. Some people here say it's great, some people say it's uncompatible with everything and should be burned like the potato it is. Considering the fact that the PC will be used mainly for gaming and internet surfing. So, contradictions aside, what is XP Home Edition like? Thanks in advance...

I only use my XP Home Edition for gaming and internet surfing. I think it is the most wise purchase I ever made.
Concerning the hardware specs...I am not computer saavy enough to tell you reasons behind my opinion, so I won't voice them. I do not remember how the money conversion goes to currency I understand, so I do not know if you are getting a good deal.

Good computer, for higher then top of the line (read: plain rididculous), get an alienware. BTW WIN-XP home is excellent. Very user friendly blah blah blah.

Looks exactly like my computer, but mine has 2.6 GHz instead of 3. [img]tongue.gif[/img] I have Windows XP Homes Edition; it runs every game that I've tried so far quite well. It's at least better than Windows Millenium. [img]smile.gif[/img]

A see-through perspex tower case with disco lights is a must - sod the graphics card and all that, you need disco lights. Trust me.
