Tiarny said to split this off into a new thread; I don't know whether I'm being a horribly presumptuous asshole by stealing the new thread OP, but hey, whatever! At least this keeps it seperate from the Paper Mario one, which I believe is still going in some capacity.
Alternatively, you can also get Deus Ex on CD-ROM, but see the potential issues below:
If you've got it on CD and you're installing onto a multicore computer you need to make the setup files on the disc execute on one core only. When the installer is running, but before it copies any files, go to Task Manager and set its affinity to just one core.
Once it's all installed from CD, you'd usually have to have the disc inserted to play, but Winckle knows a simple way to make it playable without the disc in the drive. He says, you can just edit one line of deusex.ini (found in the system subfolder of the Deus Ex install folder). Find the line beginning with CdPath and change it so that it reads: CdPath=..\

Guide to updating Deus Ex's graphics:
What everyone should be doing:
Install the game by whatever means you have.
Run the game, selecting Direct3D renderer when prompted. (Enable VSync if it asks.)
Go to the in-game options and turn everything up to max (make sure 32-bit colour is enabled).
SO in. Deus Ex is a game I've always wanted to play but never did. And I'm totally blind going into this (all I know is that it's a FPS/RPG hybrid and that it's apparently brilliant) so easy on the spoilers plz.

Is it available on Steam?
Yep, it's available on Steam for £5.99. It's also GOTY version, so get it!
I'll probably get the 'prof to edit my video links into the first post. Severely doubt I'll record my entire playthrough - severely doubt anyone would want to watch it all - but for the key levels/setpieces I'll definitely get footage.
