Sorry i didnt post the desktop yesterday. Today did a fresh install of vista (xp didnt want to work) the change is seriously amazing without those silly google progs and a full update of drivers. Im gonna give it a restart and time how long itad takes to get into windows and start to run progs. Btw its only got 1 headphone connection. I think addy may have to buy a 5.1 surround card (there is slots in the side) Except from that people where bragging on the forums about how they could run counter strike at full res. So i thought i might aswell give it a go. Downloading counter strike now.
Sending maj an invite now...
