Ummm... Well the 21st centrury seems to rock... BUT - I have an agreement with my parents that I cant have the internet on it  :( so i won't be 'multiplying' for a while. Ill just have to keep myself down here on this machine!  ;D Ah well im sure its worth it! oooh, Im SOOOO excited lol...  ;)

Glad your finally gettin a new system Dan.

So why aren't you allowed it on the internet?  whats the big deal in that?

[bm]

Good on you Dan, lets have the specs! You CANT do this to us!

So this means we can't tease you now

[Dan]

Ok guys, heres the main spec:

- AMD Athlon 64 3000+
- AMD approved cooler
- DFI LanParty UT nF3 250Gb nForce3 Motherboard
- GeIL 1GB (2x512MB) DDR Value PC3200 CAS2.5 Dual Channel Kit
- 160GB Western Digital 8mb cache SATA 150 Hard Drive
- Aopen nVidia GeForce 6800 LE 128MB DDR Graphics Card
- Sony Black 52x/52x/32x/16x CD-RW/DVD Combo Drive
- Onboard 6 Channel Audio
- Black Floppy Drive
- Antec SLK3700BQE Black Quiet Midi Tower Case
- Antec 350W SmartPower ATX Power Supply

And I get DOOM3 with it as well! Im running it with a 17Inch OCUK LCD... Hmmm....

Well Gixer, my undestanding of it is something like (Remember we can't get Broadband here) we are on our maximum number of 'phone hook ups (I didnt know there was one!) so I can have one installed in my room, and that If i did my parents think that I would be on the phone  line all hours so no one could call us... My only thoughts for a solution is a wireless network - I can multiplay with my brother on the LAN, and use the internet and printer and stuff down here. Can a wireless card get its signal through a floor of wood and a bit of plaster and other stuff? Because my machine is going in the room above this one. And what kind of cards would i need? The parents wont install cables....


As for you BirdMan, I should be able to run your scenery now!! It better hadnt be too FPS heavy for this one!! lol...

Congrats.

Great news! I'm really pleased for you. It will be a bit like upgrading from FS95 to FS9 almost!
It's quite similar to the computer we've ordered or rather computer bits we've ordered from Overclockers.

Wireless works through almost anything so there shouldn't be any problems.

You'll need wireless network cards for any PCs you want to network and a wireless router. The only problem with this is the cost.  Routers
