next day I think, it's about £7 delivery. If you order now though you won't get it until tuesday because the order will be processed on monday.

What spec is your machine currently?

Considering i spend most of my life on my computer these days i think i should spend some money on it

What spec is your PC, what games do you run and how good do they run? Have you got 1 MB broadband for gaming?

I've only got an AMD 1.9XP with 512Mb RAM and the ATi card above.

Just waiting for Half Life 2 to come out and then I'll buy some new gear, got the motherboard already, just waiting for chip prices to come down a little then I want a P4 3.2 and 1 gig of RAM.
Could use a quicker HDD aswell and a case more suited to cooling.....the list is endless.

Oh and yes, I have 1Mb broadband but it doesnt make a great deal of difference over 512K for gaming, at least not on counterstrike.

I spent loads of money on my system when i set it up. Got a case with loads of fan slots (got 2 blowing out at the mo; had 1 blowing air in but made to much noise and didn't make any diff ) Just after the graphics card at the mo and another 512 ram.
