(this is my last irrelevant post, honest) I got my bits and bobs for the new PC upgrade - all at the Golden Arcade, Craig :-) and I thought you might like to see how much cheaper is than the UK. I'm not gloating, honest. I'll also list the console stuff I got "for a laugh"... Intel P2 350 CPU w/ OC fan - 140 quid Asus P2B ATX motherboard - 80 quid 64 MB PC100 RAM - 50 quid Retail boxed Diamond Viper TNT - 95 quid ATX case and power supply - 21 quid PS/2 k/b + mouse - 12 quid JAP Ridge Racer IV box set (+ JogCon and t-shirt) - 35 quid US Turok 2 (N64) - 37 quid US Rogue Squadron (N64) - 33 quid US Zelda 64 *gold* - 65 (erp!) quid US 4MB memory expansion (N64) - 20 quid JAP Color Gameboy - 55 quid US Zelda DX - 22 quid Wow! RR4 was well cheap - sorry for quoting over the odds when i took pre-orders (which, not surprisingly, nobody took - I over-estimated by about 30 quid). Yes, it has been a HUGELY expensive Xmas for me ( a lot of the above was Xmas pressies tho') but as it's my last time in HK (well, living there) I thought I'd go a bit nuts. And why not? :-) Nick F
