Some of you may be pleased (although not half as much as me) to know that my new computer arrived today while I was at work and if I may say so myself ........ FINALLY!!!!!!!!!! [lol]

It actually looks awesome, the tower is really cool looking, as is the monitor. I will be setting it up sometime this week, it may have to be the weekend, what with work and a wolves match on friday night. Is it not slightly unfortunate, perhaps even a little ironic, that I've had my current computer for years while I've had time to use it, although not been able to use it as it's pure shite, and now when I finally get my new computer, I have just the same week started at a job that takes up 11 hours of my day? [lol] Ahwell, that's life *sigh*.

I have to get a couple of things off this computer onto a zipdrive or a pen-drive or something, to transfer onto my new computer, but I have to wait for my mom to bring one home from her school, I hope to CHRIST that she brings one home tomorrow [lol].

I am actually really rather excited about this, as you can imagine, I can't stop jumping around haha.

Also, I probably won't be around the site for a couple of days after I actually set up the new computer, as MOTHER has lost the BT disk, so I won't be able to install broadband. We are however getting a wireless internet network installed, for which we will recieve a new BT disk [lol], my mom is ordering the wireless network as I write this, so it shouldn't be too long in the waiting.

Anyway, I have rambled on long enough so I will stop now and return to jumping around the room and admiring my new computer [:)] heh heh.

Why not repost your specs lol?

Anyways, congrats on the comp, I wish I could get something like that. (but then again, I'd rather not have to for years put up with a pile of crap that crashes everytime you load the calculator)

Good to hear, I also recently got my new system to work, which is not as good as yours unfourtunately, but it's still ok. I'm also interested in some pictures because care about pc towers, not only the system specs:p

I just opened the box with the speakers in it, and one of them is HUGE!!!! [lol]

Someone asked if it's alienware, well it's not, basically because for what it is, alienware is very expensive, Ithis computer is expensive too, but for the same specs on alienware, I would have been paying a lot more money
