Treated myself last weekend and got these...

X-CLIO BLACK SUPER TOWER WITH WINDOW 2X25CM FANS NO PSU

Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 2.50GHz 6MB Cache S775 1333MHZ

Asustek S775 nForce 790i ATX AUDIO LAN DDR3

BFG Graphics GeForce 9800GX2 1GB PCIE DDR 2xDVI 600/1.5GHz

2 x Seagate Barracuda 7200.1 500GB 7200RPM S300 32MB

Zalman 850W ULTRA QUIET PSU

2 x Corsair Memory 2GBKIT (2X1GB) 1333MHZ DDR3 CL9

I got a 22ins samsung syncmaster 226cw as well, so it's all looking mighty pretty right now, a mate is bringing over a spare 19ins tft as well, so I can dual screen smile

Kinda thought I needed a bit of a treat  blush

Drivers for things when you use winxp64 are a bugger, things don't work how they should like itunes!!! Found a work around for that though, basically it's a bit of a pain, and has somewhat taken the shine off my new toy, but hey all my important stuff if still on the old one so that's fine for now until I can work out how to fix it all up  biggrin
