May be Pc is only a problem if you want to play latest games released.
I was a PS man all the time until 2005 when I bought a cheap Pc for
just doing e-mails and to surf in the www. And guess what, I still use
this old stuff, took some little upgrades, ok, but it is running LFS in
1920x1080 on almost full details.Athlon 2800+ with 1gb ram is not a
high ender, is it??? Grafix is a bit better, bought it instead of a new pc
when the old one crashed, radeon 3650. Better took a G25 for that
money and a 37" philips lcd-full hd-tv in september, (being prepared to the
future when GT5 and a PS III will be available) works nice with LFS so far.
All in all I did not spend much money on that counted on three years, imo.
