Of Students and Computers

Well it's back to being a student for me.  I start my final year on Monday and I am actually looking forward to it!  Going to be doing some exciting things, first week into one of my units we build a 3d model and then go on to textures and animation!  I am, however, going to miss the money of working full time.  But I'm sure I'll cope!

Unfortunatly though it's made me realise I am in need of a computer upgrade.  I have no money but I need one, so trying to keep it to a low, low price.  I'm stilling buying a Macbook (just waiting for the new ones to be released) but I need a good desktop as well.  At the moment I'm looking at something like:

2.4Ghz Intel E2220 Dual Core

2Gb DDR2

GeForce 8600GT 512Mb

360Gb Barracuda HDD

All for about £280.  Which I don't think is too bad really.  Any tips from anyone though?  Coupled with a MBP I think I should be alright.  That way I'll have a powerhorse no matter where I am!

Anyways, sorry I'm not updating.  I just don't have much to say these days!  Plus no one reads this... so whats the point?
