[Pyroka]

Quad Core 2.4Ghz
GeForce XFX 8800 GTS 640MB XXX
700watt Powersupply
Extra cooling
2GB 800Mhz RAM
LG Lightscribe DVD RW
Asus SLi ready motherboard with Large Heatsink
8 USB Drives
2 Firewire ports
Dell Keyboard & Mouse
Antec case (the one with 2 huge fans on the front lol)

Would you say thats worth 550 quid, since I have 200 quid right now and I can sell my laptop for about 400 probably (Bought it for 400 and upgraded it.)

I'm really tempted to, and yes it's a desktop. D=

[Stephen!]

Looks good, but what about the monitor?

[Pyroka]

Well thats what I thought, he might chuck in a 20 inch dell monitor for an extra 50 quid or otherwise, I might sell my monitor to him and have a trade. Mines an LCD but its like... quite good.

[Stephen!]

If the dell is good quality, 50 quid seems worth it. Depends if you can afford the extra though? If not then you should keep the one you have now

[Redacted]

Yes, you should go with your instincts!

[Pyroka]

Well I'm getting paid in 2 weeks too so if I sell my laptop, get the money up to about 500 quid and take the monitor too, I can pay him for the monitor with a week anyway lol. :P

Now... Who dya think would wanna buy a laptop? Lol.

[Stephen!]

What are the specs?

[Pyroka]

For my laptop?

I bought it for 400 quid brand new, but I upgraded it from 512MB RAM to 2GB RAM.

Toshiba Satellite Pro L40
Windows Vista Home Basic
2GB RAM
60GB Hard Drive
Wireless Enabled
Mint condition(!)
17 inch Monitor
External mouse included.

Hmm... I could probably install Windows Office 2007 and stuff like that onto it too, to boost up the price.

[Dentafrice]

Looks nice :D Take a pic when you get it.

[Pyroka]

Hmmm I'm actually worried now I might not be able to afford it. :P

I could sell my 360, but I'm not sure! D:

[Dentafrice]

Sell your 360, and a bunch of random ****, buy a PS3 like real men should, and then i'll loan you $20202020 dollars to buy a PC :D

[Recursion]

What motherboard is it?

The GTS will be out of date any day now.

[Stephen!]

Yeah, it's going to be officially out of date tomorrow.

[Pyroka]

LOL Fail. xD

That one.

[Recursion]

That motherboard is very out of date :P

I would personally recommend an Intel chipset, Nvidia are great for graphics cards, not so great for Motherboard chipsets.

Personally recommend the ASUS P5K Premium WiFi/AP

EDIT: Also get an aftermarket CPU cooler, not the crap that is the stock. My Q6600 (not 3GHz, at stock speeds 2.4GHz) reaches its max safe temperature when encoding a video at 100% load.

[Pyroka]

LOL What isn't out of date! God, I might just be safe keeping my laptop and saving up to build my own computer cuz at this rate, EVERYTHING WILL BE OUT OF DATE. XD

I'm going around his house today so I'll get all the specs off him.

[Stephen!]

Everything is out of date a day after it is released... because it won't be the same date

[Pyroka]

Hahha clever boy. I went round his house, it's a lifestyle P5K one but god it runs well LOL. I really like the look of it tbh, we're discussing details and such. I'm really tempted since it's a great price for what its worth (815 quid he paid for it).

[Stephen!]

He got ripped off.

[Recursion]

No, I payed around £800 for my rig, now its price is considerably less if I bought all the parts again brand new.

[Pyroka]

Well he got his computer about 6 months ago so most of it was pretty indate at the time. I'm rly tempted, I swear I am lol. I only wanna do it tbh because I have no way of gaming and my 360 sucks, so getting a PC means LAN partiiiies =D

[Stephen!]

What!? you have lan parties where you are? For god's sake. I'd love to get myself some of that shizzle.

[Pyroka]

LOL We have LAN parties, LAN conferences. There's one on June 23rd, WestLAN... I really wanna go but I doubt I'll get the money in time! :(
