Well I treated myself and purchased a new PC for all sorts of reasons. I decided this time I wanted a machine that could run graphic intensive games properly. Occasionally my chums and I get together for a Lan party and spend all day and night playing Unreal Tournament and Medal of Honour. It's great fun blasting...
