Dyed in the wool MAC user here. However a couple of games have come out recently that I wouldn't mind having a bash of. So what is the cheapest way to get a wintel PC that matches these specs
2.4 GHz Intel Pentium 4 or equivalent,
512 MB System RAM (required for 8-player multiplayer games).
nVidia GeForce 3 or ATI Radeon 8500 or equivalent with 64 MB of Video RAM.
basically its Half Life 2, Whammer Dawn of War and Bf1942 (though i can get that on mac now)
Build your own is cool or one of the big online people like tiny.com?
I'd like to spend less than £500UK actually less than that if I can.
Already got a 21" CRT can use my MAC laptop for everything else so just an expensive games console really.
Open for suggestions.
