It's actually nothing special.

Don't get me wrong - it's a nice rig and lots of people are running a lot worse. But at best it's a very good gaming machine. There's nothing out of the ordinary about any one of those components (except perhaps the artwork - that's pretty neat..)

I still wuv my machine.

hmm...

Well the components are way out of my wallete's reach. And that's what I was meaning. Heck if I win it I'm gutting my case and putting those components in it!

'Cuz I luw my case like Vasudans luw fishes.
I have big plans, now if only I could see them through.

Oh true, they're all great components. It's a nice setup - but the song and dance that advert makes about it just seems... well... wrong somehow :)

C'est la vie............

Oh, and am i the only person who gets pissed off by all the adverts by people like Dell or Pc World that purport to offer a 'stunbningly powerful P4 processor with hyperthreading technology!!!', but which don;t actually give motherboard type, RAM speed or type, HD size...etc - and usually have a ****ty integrated Intel graphics card, necessitating a £200+ purchase to bring the thing up to spec.  Almost is bad is when they advertise an MX440 card as a top spec gaming card.  

It's just cheap, shoddy salesship to force you to buy a new computer or upgrade when your graphics card can't handle the games you want -  playing on the fact many people don't know about components (no shame in that, may i add) and trust the shops to tell them the truth.  It pisses me off, cos i can;t trust any high street shop to give a good deal.

The processor beats most out there. If you read it, it says Athlon 64, not XP, so it beats everything below a 3.2C, which it is about the equal of, even with half the memory bandwidth.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Oh now look what you made me do. The Archivist strikes again :D
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

do not torment the sleep deprived artist, he may be vicious when cornered,
in case of emergency, administer caffeine to the artist,
he will become docile after that,
