I upgraded my main PC for the first time in just over two years. I built the last one myself (based on the Alienware Area 51 from ’03), but this time I decided to let the experts do it for me: went for a semi-custom build from Overclockers UK. I’d used them before and they didn’t disappoint this time either. Spec I went for is:

Ultima OC 9800GTX+ Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.40GHz @ QX6950+ 3.00GHz+ 4GB Quad Core DDR2

Here are some pics:

I spent a bit extra to get the Coolermaster RC-1000 case – it’s quite a beast:

Also I finally took the Vista plunge (Home Premium) – and I haven’t had a single problem with it so far.
