New Shinies
Yay - getting new computer 
Not top specced, but IMO a robust gaming machine at a reasonable price. All of the shinies are ordered and turning up Friday, building on Saturday.
Non-geeks may look away now
Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-EP43-DS3L
Processor - Core 2 Duo E7200 Wolfdale, 2.53GHz
CPU cooler - Arctic cooling freezer 7 Pro
RAM - 2x 2Gb Corsair TwinX
PSU - 630W Xclio, modular (Manufactured by same people who make Antec PSUs - all of the quality without the 'badge bonus')
Graphics Card - Gigabyte Nvidia GTX 260. Newest and second best Nvidia chipset.
Case - Xclio 6030. My current favourite case; Low cost, excellent cooling and whisper quiet.
Chuck in a 500Gb Samsung Spinpoint drive and a SATA optical drive and it's a pretty tidy package for £700
Oh, and finally taking the opportunity to get Vista 64 bit and see how it goes.
