I'd go a bit further: Unless you actually wanted to play some specific Windows games, you're better off with a games box rather than a PC. You don't have to worry about hard ware compatibility, installation headaches, viruses, trojans, etc., it just (generally) works. Not to mention that if you like to take a box around to a mates place to play network games, one simple console box is easier to lug about than PC, plus keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers... -- (This box runs FC6, my others run FC4 & FC5, in case that's important to the thread.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
