that explains my mess then..
Yes Stu..................................
they keep us in check, eh ???
What spec is that machine of yours ???
I got P4 3.2 GHZ, 2GB PC2100 RAM and only a poxy 40GB hard drive, DVD/RW/ROM Combo, 256 5200 Graphics and a wireless card in it to connect to my wireless modem/router! I've also fitted two silent fans to assist with cooling, all in all it flies now!

Here goes.....
My Spec - can't fully recall, even though I built it, but here goes -
P4 2.8Ghz [512k cache, 800FSB], 1GB RAM [PC3200 - 2*512], Aopen mobo AX4C-Max II, 2*120Gb Western Digital SATA-150 drives, running on a RAID 0 strip setup, Plextor 708A DVD-RW, Sony DVD-combo, Radeon 9600XT 256Meg Graphics Card, Bluetooth Keyboard & Mouse with hub/charger, 6 case fans with speed controller/temp, 480W Thermaltake PSU with fan speed controller PLUS an iiyama 20.1" TFT , all running on XP Pro
I miss that machine when I sitting at work on some crappy Advent laptop that runs 98 SE and a AMD-k6 chip
EDIT - I made a few changes to the above with hindsight

Yeah, I went a bit OTT with the monitor, but it is awesome! It has a great response time, PLUS PC runs ALL games, flight sims, on full-res with very minimal slow down......jamie86 said:

20.1" - yeah, 1600*1200 native resolution, lol. My graphics card has dual output [one DVI, the other d-sub], so tempted to buy another cheap 15" TFT and run a dual-screen setup - be useful for all those MSN chats
Oh if I had the money..........
Oh well car or P.C Hmmmm?!?!
Easy decision for me.Lol

Don't talk to me about cars, lol - since meet on Sunday, now looking to get mine lowered!
Is it a question of just springs, or go for dampers as well, OR go for coil overs - aargh........and should I upgrade from 16s to 17s as well.
And christmas is so close - the kids won't even know what to do with a torsion bar

oops, even though we're a bit off topic, go for a springs and shox kit if you can. Wheels are your choice, but I'd avoid over-gearing it with bigger rims - tends to hurt acceleration, unless you can get tiny profile tyres to redress the balance.

Cheers Pete - nothing wrong with OT, lol.
My choice of wheels would be the 17s, with 215/45 tyres on. BUT cashflow may dictate I stick with my 16s.
I am now looking at Eibach springs and shocks, although waiting for a fitting price. I was looking at some coil overs, but Eibach don't do them for the FIAT
And back onto topic - my pc is just fine

Anyway, back on topic, here's my computer room. I'm slowly turning it into a shrine for Italian cars...
Err.........................................
nice colour on the walls mate!
Looks like a 17 year old chavs bedroom!
Class Steve, you've got it in bucket loads!

Re: Err.........................................
Ah go on you, that's not the bedroom, that's the spare room I use as a computer room. The walls are that colour as it used to be my sons room and I can't be arsed redecorating it! You can't talk anyway, I've seen more character in a Volvo driver than there is in your room!
