Well, my trusty 7 year old desktop has finally given up the ghost and died
Keeps rebooting, turning the display on & off. Could be the graphics cards, heat sink, or power supply. No idea. Decided to buy a new system - porbably from one of those places on the web that builds it for you.
What do you think of this spec? I need it to play the odd game, but have good sound & visuals for movies, photo, music. Nothing major hard core, just a decent all rounder that will last at least a few years.
