Hey, I've decided to get a PC from PCSpecialist... can you give me your opinions on what you think about this PC I configured? I've got a 20" monitor, keyboard and mouse already. Is the GFX card any good? Also, what's the cooling like on it, any good?
Also, I didn't add in an OS. I have a Windows XP disc and key. Just one thing though... when it arrives, do I just install XP like normal? Or is there something I must do? And what about drivers, do they come on a disc or something?

Last thing, has anybody dealt with PCSpecialist? What do you think of them?
Thanks!
