My recommendation:

Build your own:

Intel Quad Core 2.5
Asus P5Q Mainboard (supports upgrade to the Extreme Quad proc when the time comes )
2gb OCZ PC1200 DDR2 ram (4 if you decide to run 64bit)
GeForce 9 series video with at least 512, preferably 1gb

pick a case, add 800watt PSU, and Vista (for media and DX10 support)

and pay around $1100 US

guaranteed to play Conan with no issues, and anything else you want to put with it.



Good list, just avoid low end GeForce 8x00 and ALL 9x00 cards as they are defective. Pretty much only the original 8800GTS and 8800GTX are not affected by a manufacturing flaw that are causing NVidia cards to drop like flies. Glad I got my 8800GTS back in the day

So, I've decided to go the build my own route, but my knowledge on internal components is slightly vague. Would everyone agree that the items listed are the ones to go for, or does anyone have any other recommendations?

Also, what are peoples thoughts on HTPC's? Like these...

I remember the days when my answer was "buy a mac" and all I got was insults



I have a macbook pro now, it's very pretty altho it does appear that I've warped the superdrive housing a bit.

Next time you're in wales, let me know. We'll go drinking and I'll leave you for dead in an alley somewhere for a laugh.

Charleston Grill on Caroline St is my favourite place ever at the moment. I think it's called that, I've been mistakingly calling it Taurus for about 5 months then realised Taurus was around the corner.

The chef at Taurus in Cardiff looks more bovine than most cows.

He cooks a bloody nice steak though

I'll check out the Charleston next time I'm down

Any of you go for the battered cauliflower ? i'm told it's to die for

Hmmmm 20 oz rib eye steak and all the trimmings

I hear champers is also a good meal if taking a women on a date, saying that i wouldn't try the 20 oz in front of a woman but with the boys hell yeh
