I wish he'd just come straight out with the full spec of his machine. It'll save us the pain of all the 'subtle' piecemeal hints over the next two days or so.

i am enjoying the 4mb cache

i am enjoying the 4mb cache

Is that all? Only 4MB on a 1TB drive?

How much does the 50Bb cost over the price of the 20Mb package?

Eh, who the fuk told you that a 4MB cache is better than an 8MB cache?

What Hard drive is it you're using?

I better get in touch with Seagate and Western Digital et all, tell them they're wasting their time?

[RodLeach]

Is this one of these PC's thats got huuuuuge figures an doesnt really work as well as it could?! I bet you've got 4gb of ram aswell as at least 1gb of ram in your graphics card!

yeh only thing is that the 32bit platform does not recognize more than 3Gig so 1 is wasted....

2 4inch fans at front,one on side,6 inch fan on back,all 3 speed thermostat controlled with digital temp read outs on fron of case for processor,hard drice and graphics card,oh also 9 usb ports in total

8mb cache

You said 8MB was a waste of time and that yours only had 4MB Cache?

8mb ram

Waste of time unless your Processor and OS are 64 bit.

rs 250 graphics card,apparently made for graphics programs

Most graphics cards are designed for graphics programs!

Why does it need so many fans?

And all that for 500 beer tokens, even with good discounts, seems a bit cheap. The monitor, Operating system and hard drive will have cost at least £300, which only left only £200 for everything else?

[RodLeach]

What do you use your computer for?!

anyone who suggests 8gb of ram to anyone who wants a copy of vista that runs things is an idiot! It cant even see its there..



What make is the monitor?! I hope you didnt cheap out! Monitor will make or break a system imo.


I think you could've eaaasssilly downspec'd an got something that runs whatever you want easy!

My mate spent over £1000 on his tower alone.. an then looks at facebook an plays football manager on it.. I paid £400 odd + vat an i play Crysis on high/very high settings an its a breeze!! An i got a load of cash left for subways!
