LOL, I can't wait either. I burnt the motherboard of my PC down, now I'm trying to find out the best possible set up for my stuff to run Half-Life 2 as smooth as possible.

Me so happy! My Motherboard and Processor are just about to be dispatched... so all the stuff I'm getting will be here by Saturday:

Motherboard: K7N2 DELTA-ILSR ------> £90 (Dabs)
Processor: Athlon XP 2600+ --------> £73.00 (Dabs)
GFX Card: Crucial 128mb 9800Pro ---> £274.91 (Crucial)
RAM: DDR PC3200 512MB -------------> £69.31 (Crucial)

Total: £507.21

Did some research to get that lot. The Radeon is about as Distinct as Quintuplets from any other GFX card (it even came in a boring Cardboard box), but It was the cheapest one available. Apparently, all Radeons are virtually Identical Anyway, so I'm happy to have saved the cash.

The Motherboard seems to be pretty damned good... So much so I'm going to put away my Sound and Network Cards and use the onboard ones... I'm just hoping that My PSU can support the damned stuff
