        If you game and your computer runs the games fine or if you have no troubles then sure get a CnC!!

          Both..
          Save the good components of your computer IE hard drive and sell the rest to a used computer place if you can find one?
          Then build another computer and your cooking..
          After that proceed to save up and buy a C&C X-Mag

                if you are going to get a computer, i would recommend learnign how to build them yourself. You can take components from your old computer(s) and use them for the new one. I wound up spending around $550 building myself a top of the line computer. I really don't think that going from a matrix to an extreme will be an enormous quality difference. Go with the computer, especially if you game.

                  Exactly, Build it for less, and then buy an X-Mag

                    I'm waiting for the new 64-bit Athlons to come out this next summer, so it's waiting time for me as far as building a new 'puter...

                          hehe,
                          See this is why I love my job ... I work for a Fortune 500 computer company (insight.com) so I get all my PC stuff at Cost ... PLUS I can set it up for payroll deduction (split the cost of the parts between 12 checks) ... so I can upgrade my components very easily for low "out of pocket" quick cost, so I can still buy my components whenever needed.

                          As for what to buy, really depends on if you need the new PC .... if you can manage yours then maybe just upgrade the motherboard/processor/memory and then go part to part upgrades.

                          Sincerely,
                          Dave K
