Can recommend it highly. Fast processor, awesome graphics and it smells really, really nice
As for graphics, it's a top end system with a furious graphics card. I've been playing all my games with details at 100% with zero slowdown/stutter etc, runs the Splinter Cell demo like lightning.
I was initially a bit dubious but have to say, completely unbiased, I'm 100% happy with it.
Beats PC World into floor with a big stick
Gave old comp to maniac ex to keep her happy, went down to Sawbo one Sunday morning, 3hrs later was back at home with nice shiny new PC. Have played Medal of Honour/Splinter Cell/Vietcong etc all with details ramped to 100% and have no problems, 2.4 gig processor means it goes stupidly fast and hammers through games like you wouldn't believe.
You wont regreat it sir

You'll maybe struggle with Doom 3 with the default GFX card in that thing.
For example...

Benchmarks on FX 52000 Ultra don't exactly look impressive where Doom 3 is concerned, even that article labels it unplayable. But of course thats pre-production version of Doom 3. :)
You can buy it with higher specs, but SR only provide 3 upgrade options on gfx cards, minimum 200 pound upgrade. But depends what you want really, that spec is more than fine for most current games, but if you want to stay at the top of the market in games playing terms (ie Doom 3), you might find yourself upgrading sooner rather than later.
I hate to say it but maybe SR isn't the greatest value for money around too, but thats a different story. :)
