That's a great machine you're getting there.......Specially with the quad core processors, awesome deal..

it looks pretty 'leet' to me :hail: is the computer going to be used for gaming or...? im guessing it is, u dont buy a comp with specs like that unless ur a pro core gamer!
...or you want to go on a download spree or something lol, but if i was to upgrade my comp/buy a new one, i would buy the parts seperatley and build the computer! .. cheap and works wonders
P.S the 4gb RAM is pretty nice =P

Certainly looks like a bargain winterborn, but why is it so cheap.

It was off Ebay! It was supposed to be £600, but I offered £500 and he accepted.

(Keyboard, mouse (Logitech mx600), & headset for £30) & 19 inch monitor for £75.

It arrives on wednesday.
And yes, It's for games & video editing mainly. I'll probably upgrade the graphics card to an 8800 gtx in a month or two as well!

Thought I'd update - I'm using it right now!

It's a nice machine. Only thing I'm concerned about is one dead pixel in the middle of the screen. Bleurgh.
