Beats buying a new car, and anyway, rather drive my mums 330i then spend 2 grand on a carp car for moi to pick up ladies in.

Sorry for the loss, man. But hell, you're building the PC that I would have built if I had managed to wait six months..... Here I am thinking I built my dream PC and all of a sudden everything's changed again.... have fun and don't get fish & chips on the keyboard.

Yep. Finger prints taken ect on the window they broke.

I just hated the feeling, I wasnt arsed about the stuff they took (money, pc, car). Just the fact that it'd happened. Funny thing was I was up till 2.30 am. I put Schilnders list on to watch after work. I woke up to hear the car starting at about 3 am, but I firgured it was my dad.

They broke in and took the keys to the car but could only get the 206, my dads car has clever ways to prevent it from being stolen. We'r fully insured so it's no biggie, locks have been changed etc.

They also took my parents mobile phones, we even rang them and they said "We could suck thier black d*cks". My dad replied over the phone "We'll let the in mates do that for us".

In 10 years time after my education is finished and I'm well off I'll be thinking of them. Getting thier ass filled in jail. Karma. Hey least Im getting an X2 out of it :)

I feel fine now, just the initial shock and gut feeling was sh*te.

Your dad seems like a funny man. Good for you :). Be sure to visit them in prison.

wow Clarkey that is rough i feel for you man .. back to the decisions .. i know you are tempted by that FX57 clarkey as was i .. and it still scratches the back of my mind now :shocked: ..but when i have the money i will be probs go for the X2 4400+ Toledo and OC it (on my measly Neo2 plat :p), because of the extra cache, and because it a lot cheaper then the 4800+ .. but now im not going to help you clarkey (just imagine those super PI scores from a clocked FX57 DROOOOOLLL can i here you say 3.2/3.4 on air :D:D)...

Well, Clarkey, an FX-57 might be worth it. I mean, if you're an avid gamer, why not? :p

Nope im sold to the X2 clan. I love to game but a K8 @ 2.4 Ghz is just fine and beats anything Intel can offer pretty much in terms of gaming. But yes the extra 400 Mhz is tempting
