The particle/distortion effects are AMAZING! And the textures are like 3x as high resolution as generals. Shame texture resolution isn't higher, things get ugly in some places when zoomed in.

Meh, it's not great, but it does the trick for me.

It's not great if you compare it to PCs sold in shops at the moment, but it's good compared to what most people have.Meh, it's not great, but it does the trick for me.
Daz, what kind of system do you plan to buy? Unless that goes too much offtopic ..

Although I haven't looked at RAM prices lately so that might have to be knocked down to 1GB.
I'm basically going for being able to run Battlestations Midway on highest (so I'm going by the 'optimum' settings on the back of its box) as that's the newest game I've got that requires a fairly high spec.
Which should mean I can run C&C3 on high aswell as anything that comes out in the nearish future.

I think you should be able to play C&C3 on high settings yeah, depends what resolution you pick of course but as long as you don't pick something very high you should be fine.

Everything sold in shops sucks. I build my own, and I'm overclocked!

Out of curiosity, what part(s) did you overclock?

The main problem I find with anything store bought is all the utter shite that's installed on them, I spent a good hour uninstalling rubbish from my sister's laptop.
I don't overclock personally, I know you can normally go a fair way over the specified clock speed before having problems but I don't have the money to risk burning out expensive bits of my pc.

Well I meant, parts that are available now. Sorry, a bit of bad wording on my part. I selected all the specific parts I wanted and it turned out that for a quite small fee the shop could put it all together so I opted for that.
Out of curiosity, what part(s) did you overclock?
Graphics card and CPU. I refuse to touch the RAM, supposedly its a bit more risky.
And as for cooling, I do believe that my custom-built liquid nitrogen is cool enough to keep my components from breaking.
Well, that's for my graphics card. The CPU uses a standard overclocking kit.
I couldn't buy nitrogen in enough quantity to keep a CPU cool for a month, the chips eat the stuff up pretty fast.
Another note, The system has swappable CPU mounts so I can use this in ANY PC I build or buy. Not wasteful!
