New computer system
Just had my work paying for this new system...

with two 19" widescreen monitors. Weehee!
Just arrived so as soon as I get a chance I'm going to take this baby for a ride. I was going to do a build my own but once I'd added it all up there wasn't much in it and so opted for having it built. These guys know what they're doing - I've had some good stuff from them before. Even overclocked like this the CPU's generally running around 45deg max fully stressed - most seem to be idling around 25deg with this monster fan (and it really is huge - I thought it was the power supply on first glance - and then thought what on earth?). They're using the latest Intel stepping which uses less power and is therefore able to overclock like this without heating up excessively.
If anyone lives in the UK and is thinking of a new system at some point - this is a good way to go. Basically you're paying for a 2.4GHz Quad processor but it's running at 3.3GHz and because of the way this stepping of processors has been manufactured there's this huge overclocking potential.
