Yeah but in Australia its a pretty good deal coz the guy is gettin it for me at near wholesale price. Which in Australia is still higher than in the US. I dont mind anyway if it is a bit expensive compared to US coz my parents are payin for most of it so they can get the computer I'm using now...

And I just realised that I have so much homework to do that for most of next week the most hardware intensive things I will be running are Winamp and MS Word.

Hehe thats pretty cool. Is that actually showing anymore of the game then what you normally see? It looks like it is because that would give you an extra advantage in the game if you could see to the side of you while looking forwards.

Yeah mouseman dual optical are the best.

I didnt know they made modems either but I just said chuck in a cheap internal one. Yeah it is about $US 0.54 to AUD$1 so that explains the big difference. It is getting built for me and with Windows XP Pro. I think the monitor is the normal 19" not the flatscreen.

I always just leave mine on. Its too much effort to get up and turn it off at the back and then turn it back on later.

Yeah here in Australia the PC mag i buy put the full version of Unreal on the cover disc (they have also done it with Tribes, MOO2 and others). Anyway, on the disc there was a patch for the game and another that made it heaps better for Geforce cards so maybe you could try finding that on the...

I hope the Maxtor is good because thats what I'm getting in my new computer.
