My new PC... shiny!

Don't tell me you have a girlfriend too ;)

LOL, congrats there, Cub, a very nice piece of machinery indeed. I take it that you will now be amongst the 10% of people in the world that will actually be able to play Crysis?

Best place to get decent (cheap) "mean" machines is in a skip. Honestly. I've had 3 PCs over the years and they've always been um... borrowed!

Congrats, that is a very nice setup indeed.

If you get bored, or want to fiddle some more, try adding another Hard Drive for a linux distribution. I recommend Ubuntu Desktop Edition with Compiz-Fusion to get your feet wet with. It is one of the easier distros to setup and use with good community support.

A sansGUI interface is one that does not have the small features called "Windows". The term comes from the French word sans, meaning "without".

SansGUI's are more typically used in Unix-like Operating Systems. The conventional wisdom is that a GUI (Grapical User Interface) help guide the casual computer user to perform routine tasks with Point and Click simplicity. SansGUI's have acquired considerable acceptance for users accustomed to the CLI (Command Line Interface).
