Cheers! It's nice to finally have my monitor so I can keep my PC and PS3 next to each other for gaming. I think my GF is happy she can use the TV again. :p

Enjoying your new PS3 btw?

Small set up here. PC is a few years old. But hanging in there. Been collecting HDDs lately. been pretty cheap.

Snagged the 32" LCD when the local Circuit City was moving to another location. Paid about 400 for it. Antec900 case packed tightly inside. Hope i do this right with the pic uploading.

Yeah I can't stop playing Fallout 3 :p

Sweet. Not an RPG man myself, but Fallout 3 does look tempting! Might have to wait till it hits ?20 again though. Just ordered the Prince of Persia anyway, so I think that will tide me over till then. Killing time till Killzone 2 tbh.:pp

I bought it for ?19.98 from Amazon the next day it went up to ?29.:laugh:gh:

Yeah I think that's where I saw it actually. I'm glad I waited now though, seeing as they just added trophy support. There's nothing like just finishing GTA4 to find they added trophies that aren't retroactive:wacko:o:

Below-average specs and Doom 3 benchmarks, nice :p

[I am Redbeard]

Well that was constructive, :blink:

I'd like to know where you found the 151.8 FPS (at 1680x1050) was benchmark.

I apologize for not meeting your personal requirements, however I can glady say this machine has torn apart every game I have tried so far.

The list includes:

Crysis

Oblivion

Assassins Creed

Fallout 3

Left for Dead

COD: WaW

Bioshock

Don't worry about him, IanPete, someone peed in his cheerios ;)

[Sethos]

Oh please, because I didn't praise his benchmarks from a seriously old game on a overpriced brand-PC with sub-par specs - I'm so sorry :rolleyes:

[Reacon]

Alienware is a status symbol. Keep the case, upgrade the computer. You can build a full rig with x2 Radeon 4830's Crossfire and a Q6600 for under $600. That, of course, if better than what you have. I applaud you for having enough money for an Alienware, but just build your PC's. You won't have to fast for the next month after you purchase it that way ;)

Dude, you need to learn to relax at time. Someone asked him the stats, so be posted them, and he said what games run well and why he likes his computer. He got good framerates, and you chose to ridicule him for some reason. Chill out.

If you used those sharp falcon eyes of yours, you'd notice i added a ":p" smiley to my original post, meaning it was probably a light hearted joke - Then he chooses to misunderstand it and get offended, plus you have to add a comment as well ( Why? ). Then I might as well act like the angry douche you're apparently making me out to be.

Sethos, you have to admit it seemed so sarcastic it was almost serious.
