you think it will be good ?
Too many annoying pin point jumping parts and just not particuarly good really.
Much preffered playing through Blood 2 and Kingpin.
I know where you can get good 5.1 speakers for £40.
Halo is absoloutly streets ahead of Halflife. Halflife has dated so badly, it's still good in multiplayer but the single player is just so dull and dated. Things like the way you can shoot people point blank with a machine gun in their face and they don't die just don't feel right anymore.
First person shooters have moved on and Halflife unfortunatly has been left behind with the Quake and Unreal crowd.

I think Halflife was more fun, personally. Gameplay was a lot more varied.

Those are decent speakers too, they're the ones I have. Good quality sound and pretty loud too.
If you want 5.1 surround and not stereo then a decent surround system is about £40, and the nForce2 motherboard has excellent onboard surround sound, as good as any sound card.

£2000 was just •a bit• of an exagerration.
A PC like that should keep most people in business for quite a while.
