DVD CD48X DVD16X IDE
160GB IDE 7200 U/min

Hows it sound.......

plus i bought a 19" philips LCD monitor....

and a Thomson scenium LCD tv.....

TV works great, monitor is great, will connect new PC up this weekend

those babys are suweeet

I have 4 computers here.....

and if I add all the clock speeds and HD sizes .....

its still less than what you have there.
Plus the monitor & DVD etc.


That should scream along when you get it going - you'll be replying to posts before you've thought of what to say.

(bet the internet doesn't run any faster though!)

but will it make the monster go faster..lol

dunno, maybe means i can order stuff faster.........

i thought i best treat myself though, as the Pc im currently on i got in 1995 and has a 350cpu

the monitor although 17 " was 17 sq feet in area....

and the diddy tv broke down.....im always one to embrace technology long after everyone else.

not this weekend though

Not sure what all those figures mean but looking forward to having a play.

TV sounds good should keep me & Harty quite for a bit

Plus VAT ?? Cough Ahem Splutter Seeth

only got the vat off the TV, but did us a good deal on the rest because of what we were buying

Fujitsu-Siemens are good, I bought 16 for work and they are great. If you haven't found it yet MS XP has a neat method of moving your files from your old pc to you new. Basically involves a floppy disk, a network or other link cable and select

Programs/Accessories/System tools/Transfer and settings wizard

in new pc

If you need any help pm me. It does NOT move programs, but everything else.

Anyone wanting these PC's in UK should check out insight.com/uk as they do great deals for me. Just make sure you specify a tower or desktop to get right shape.

nick, thanks for that, that is a problem im about to ecounter as the floppy on this pc is bust..can you let me know what i will need to get to copy over...other than picking up a floppy drive....i intend to get it up and running this weekend.

only problem i have at the mo is XP is in german on it, and i need to find an english XP..

can i overwrite the german XP or is there a way of changing language

very nice Mat...

My home PC is a Fujitsu Siemens, bought back in '98, finally gave up the ghost a couple of weeks ago (which aint bad considering the amount of times its been moved around the country)..

Its certainly a top spec too... I have visions of Mat appearing on the new Post Office advert replacing Elton John.. "you know me, I like [i]fast[/i] things."

isn't there a language setting option in control panel? May need the XP CD though.

You could always move your files by CD, if your old pc had a writer - which maybe it sounds like it doesnt!! ooops

Nice anyway, so more dodgy piccies in the carpark from now on then!!

well got the new pc up and running..............

i prefer my W98 and my 350cpu.
all the icons look cartooney on the desktop.how Ghey

just need to find out how to network this and my old PC together,

cracking system mat, my new pc comes 2moro, theres some good prices out there at the moment. i went for a custom built system which cost £840 inc VAT and delivery

AMD XP2600+
1024MB PC3200
140GB 7200 HD 8MB
8x GEFORCE-FX5600XT 256MB
NEC ND-1300A DVD+/- WRITER
TV-CARD with FM + REMOTE
17inch TFT SILVER/BLACK
and other bits n bobs

i've been using macs for the last fve years so im sure i have hours of frustration ahead of me

you could use a data link cable or an ethernet crossover cable to connect them together if it's just the 2 pc's you want to connect. you can have my old crossover cable if you want it once i've set up my new network, just let us know bud.

Nice PC Matt!

Wosket that spec is very similar to mine, but I got mine setup to overclock to 3200 specs (no i wont tell you how to do this cause if you break yours you will batter me!!)

Just please remember to "loose" my tel number if you are having probs

not too bothered about overclocking, just bought it as a test platform and to watch tv on while im working on my macs.

dont worry, ill have plenty of questions for ya next week mate

thanks John,

im mostly after pulling all the files and images from my old HD..leaving behind all the programs.and Trojans

what doesnt help is.

a. this pc has no floppy
b. the old pc floppy is dead, and it has no Burner

with a crossover cable you should be able to connect and then just drag n drop whatever you want to port accross, thats how it works on my macs anyway

WOW the wonders of modern technology

oh, i havent checked.

My one at the office has, but thats 3 years old now

well i have tried everything, i cannot get these PC's to talk to each other.even Relate didnt do the trick, so im gonna buy a burner for the old PC and load everything onto disc......

Mat - before you do that, wait till next week and I'll take a look for you...

I can bring a hub and some cables so we can network them ...

ive got a cable that goes between the LAN port on the new PC and the ethernet port on the old PC

(the phone like sockets)

.........but that would be cool Tony
