I'm putting it in my daughter's room so she can use it for homework and games and stuff. Actually, she's getting my old desktop which is an old XP Machine with 1.6Ghz from about 6 years ago...still, it has 1.5 GB of RAM in it, and a 19" flat screen.

Most of my work at the moment is done on a Dell Inspiron 6000 1.86 Ghz laptop with a 1GB RAM. This does the music job fairly nicely but I always wanted something for the next generation of games. This should do it! Thanks for taking a look!

Havent chosen mouse or keyboard for this yet. Keyboard needs to be silver, I'm not that bothered about wireless, my first wireless mouse was too slow for gaming. But that was 4 years ago...they may have improved.

Nice setup. We have pretty similar rigs. Enjoy. Oh, and I bought that mouse pictured for gaming. It works very well.

Thanks Sting. I admit I had been enviably eyeing all the posts where you talked about your set up and performance. I decided there was no point sitting there feeling sorry for myself. Had to push the boat out!

Call of Duty 4 has duly been ordered. I have CS and Half Life already.

Thanks Slicer and "Trois Doigts"... Yeah its not annoying. If you you have a little music on low you cant hear it. Doesnt bother me at all even when no music is on.
