New PC...

[Zogbert Splod]

My new computer came today.  I have to say that I like Windows 10.  Well, so far anyhow!  I'm not sure how much of the speed of this machine relates to being new, how much to having Win 10.
It's a tower machine from PCS and is described as a 'gaming computer'.  It won't be getting much in the way of gaming use but it will be used to edit a lot of graphics stuff and some videos.
It's, physically, the biggest computer I have ever had with lots of room to add bits and pieces inside should I need to.
   The box it came in was HUGE!  I put it outside the door to dispose of it and my neighbour asked if I had planning permission for the new extension!!!

Anyhow, I am a happy chappie...
Regards, Allan.....

Your cast off box might make someone else's spray booth, Allan

Nowt like new toy day! What's the spec?

AMD Quad Core A8 6600K 3.9GHz
8GB RAM + 1TB HDD
AMD Radeon HD 8570D
DVD Writer
Windows 10 64bit

I've already doubled the disk space to 2T coz I know I will need it inside a few months.
I considered a few options and I must say that a lot of them were higher spec than this one but I will add a double header graphics card soon and it will be way more than I need for the foreseeable future.  I was going to buy components and nail it together myself but the saving turned out to be a lot less than I thought so...

Yeah, I am happy with it.....

You must be telepathic ! :
I was sat here thinking should I post the following, would it incur some sort of wrath :
" Keep it till October then gift it to a charity in [insert local town or somewhere in France ] "

   I'm not gonna prove it but I do believe that I could get in it and close it up.
I had to turn it around to get it through the hallway into the living room so that I could unpack it.

Now (he said with a completely innocent look), complete change of subject,  if anyone is interested, I have a nice holiday villa available in Scotland - very reasonable rates.....

Fantastic! You'll have a lot of fun with that :-) It's worth having a turn key machine built for as you know it'll arrive at your door working correctly with a warranty!

It's worth having a turn key machine . . .

You mean you have to wind it up with a key?

Should've paid a couple o' quid more and got an electrical one

Well, it was a choice between a steam or clockwork powered pc and I didn't fancy the wallpaper peeling off every time I used the thing...
