Go to Disk Depot on Union Street, they do decent spec PCs for £200. Nae monitor with that mind. You can also pick and choose components if you want to spend more.

Yeah mines an AMD Athlon 3000+
1024MB Ram
Geforce FX5200.

The only bother is that there's some sort of hardware error with the motherboard so it needs replaced (plus the dvd drives aren't burning/ripping anything at the moment successfully so they're getting replaced too)

Been playing the SNES and Mega Drive emulators a bit. Current favourite game is Dr Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine (or whatever it's called). Cool puzzle game. Also Resident Evil 3 on the Gamecube.

Currently playing GTA San Andreas.

By the way, the guy that designed the mission where you have to go to an army base and use a forklift to put crates in the back of a truck, deserves to be stabbed in the fucking throat.

HAY LETS MAKE IT SO THAT THE SHITTY FORKLIFT TRUCK IS REALLY FUCKING DIFFICULT TO LINE UP WITH THE CRATES SO THAT IT TAKES 30 FUCKING MINUTES TO PICK UP ONE CRATE

ALSO WE WILL MAKE IT SO THAT 5 TIMES OUT OF 10 THE CRATE WILL FALL OFF THE END OF THE FORKLIFT FOR NO FUCKING REASON, OR THAT RAISING THE FORKS WILL END UP TIPPING THE FORKLIFT

DID I MENTION THE FACT THAT THE SHITTY CAMERA CODE AND VEHICLE CONTROLS MEAN THAT THE CAMERA REGULARLY ENDS UP IN FRONT OF THE FORKLIFT SO THAT YOU CAN'T SEE WHAT YOU ARE FUCKING DOING??

OH!! AND TO SPICE IT UP, WE'LL MAKE IT SO THAT YOU HAVE TO DO IT REALLY QUICKLY OR YOUR FRIEND GETS SHOT AND YOU FAIL THE MISSION

OH AND LETS MAKE IT REALLY FAR AWAY FROM WHERE YOU GET THE MISSION, SO THAT IT TAKES 30 FUCKING MINUTES TO GET BACK THERE IF YOU HAVE TO TRY AGAIN

OH YEAH AND LETS MAKE IT SO YOU HAVE TO CONSTANTLY GET OUT OF THE FORKLIFT TO BABYSIT THE AI THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE FUCKING HELPING YOU

ALSO, LETS MAKE IT SO THAT WHEN YOU HAVE A MISSION, THE LOCATION YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO GO TO IS MARKED WITH A MARKER THAT LOOKS REALLY SIMILAR TO THE MARKERS FOR A RESTAURANT SO YOU SPEND HALF A FUCKING HOUR TRYING TO GET TO IT ONLY TO FIND THAT ITS A PIZZARIA THAT IS FUCKING BRILLIANT

ALSO I WILL BET MY FUCKING ARSE THAT WHEN I GET ALL THE CRATES IN THE TRUCK, THAT MY WANTED LEVEL WILL GO UP TO 5, SO I HAVE TO TRY TO GET BACK TO THE PLACE I GOT THE MISSION FROM IN A SHITTY TRUCK THAT TIPS EASILY, WHILE BEING RAMMED BY FUCKING POLICE CARS

OH YEAH AND I ESPECIALLY LOVE WHEN YOU GET JAMMED BETWEEN TWO CARS, ONE OF WHICH IS ABOUT TO EXPLODE, AFTER GOING THROUGH ALL THAT SHIT, AND THEN YOU GET KILLED, WHEN THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN FUCKING DO ABOUT IT. THAT IS AWESOME

AWESOME
