OK. So Unreal Tournament 2003 is coming out in the next few months, my P3 500Mhz, 128MB, Win 98 machine will probably choke when I try to run it, so I need a new box. I don't need a monitor, just a good CPU, lots of memory, big HD, WinXP Pro and good video card.

What I want to do is use my old machine on a broadband connection, it can be my proxy / firewall, possible even host some UT games on it, and have a new machine as a workstation connected to the old machine for Internet access...

Anybody got any ideas for a solution to my problems? Can you recommend anywhere to buy a box, I know SR do boxes on their own, but I can't find 'em in the PC section, can anybody also tell me about the best place to get a broadband connection from?

Thanks people.

Yeah, they're well expensive. I like the Antecs, but everyone else had them so i just went for a nice Orchid instead.

Nice case, I wish I had enough for a coolmaster case (AT200 I think) with a see-through green front, looks goooorgeous + it's actually practical! practical and good looks but it's comes with a big price tag.

No Andi, you have a black Antec, the case, you don't have a black Audora system.
