Without a GPU, I'd guess you're probably looking at

£250-350 = decent
£350-450 = good
£450-550 = great
£550-700 = excellent
£700-900 = extreme

I'm not one for budget or HTPC builds, though, so someone else can probably answer that better.

Don't think I realised how long ago I actually bought my graphics card, so if I want to build a PC, looks like I'm going to have to fork out for one of them too, bollocks.

Next week? I will try and get a TTT server up, the CSS one only needs run via screen...

And perhaps some maps added unless we want a 24hr CS_Office server. :slol:

Will also need to speak to our glorious Winckle about some of his cool scripts we had before the PCS and GR servers were merged and we were plunged unto the dark ages. :cry:

Primarily we need anti-stacking & anti-awp (unless you pay £2 per month to save the awp)

I would also really like the Team Kill Olympics back.


But that is all superficial, might be worth getting the CS:Go server up to?

But like I say - will deal with it when I am back, biggest problem I have has is as of late no one has been around

For instance for a good couple of weeks it was me Stu and Waz most nights. :oops:

He PMd me "It is a Voodoo 2, is that still good?". I said it was, if the year is still 1997.

Yes?

I was playing on a random server last night for the first time in about 3 years and I was still owning it. 8-)
