Computers

As well as working with computers, I like to unwind on them as well. After a day at the office, I like nothing better than to play pointless 'shoot-em-up' games like the Quake or Unreal titles. To get the maximum enjoyment out of all these games, I've got the following PC specification:

• ThermalTake Tsunami Dream Black Aluminium Case with X Type Side Panel Window
• Hiper HPU-4B580 Modular 580 Watt Power Supply
• Asus A8N-E motherboard with RAID, SATA II, 7.1 sound, and Nvidia nForce 4 Ultra Chipset
• AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4400+ Processor with 2 x 1Mb Level 2 Cache
• 2Gb DDR PC3200 400MHz Memory Running in Dual Channel Configuration

• Creative PC Works FourPointSurround Speakers
• Epson Stylus Color 640 Printer
