Well my new rig is up and running great here.  Unfortunately I broke a connector off one of the sata drives, it was raid 0, so took it as a sign and installed XP Pro instead of the vista it came with.  Took me a while to find all the drivers I needed but all is up and running now.  Christened it last night with some 1942, will do same again tonight but add in some 42 DC as well.

add one of them toys to your rig grim!
the falcon looks like it might be good for fps games but the other stuff in there seems a little over the top

So pretty sweet things there Boru. That scorpion  office thing is nice and the special touch sensitive yoke. I wouldn't mind giving them a try :)

iRacing for the win

lol, completely random comment?  I've been meaning to get into iRacing though, G25 isn't seeing much use atm.

Fairy mentioned a site to me, elf.co.uk, reconditioned PC's, trade only, so I signed up for their pricelist and waited patiently.  Saw a good deal and ordered, turned out to be a pricing mistake, but they honoured the price shown.

Will report back on the system when it arrives...

Not random at all, the racing rig in the vid is using iRacing [Formula Mazda to be precise :)] and the guy also mentions iRacing :)

Ah!  I was searching the text on the thread for the reference!  Yea, great rig would probably be a disadvantage competitively in the game to be thrown around like that though...
