It's not the connection speed that bothers us: it just makes the page look all horrible and out of whack. And then you have to scroll left to right to read posts. (Unless you have like a 30" wide screen LCD.)

http://www.autostyle.co.za/prodview.php ... dstr=&str=

for one of these

only my one is black - next move will be to get the body styling kit to make the car look similar to this

i just love the look of that car - its amazingly awesome for what it is - and i will pay a tribute to it in my own way

Nice cars, pity about the handling though. Could've been better in stock form.

My most recent purchase is a XFX 8800GTS...will only be getting it later this week though

Bought an MSI 8800GTS OC online. It should be arriving any day now....then there is the small matter of a new power supply.

You should be okay with a decent 450W or above...according to that PSU calculator...I'm pretty sure my Antec 480W will do me just fine even with a little overclocking

Will be getting the Wii (along with Zelda and Wii Sports) tomorrow. The Bravia will only be here at the end of the month tho, the wait is killing me.

Will most probably get an AOpen 500W. I can get one locally for around R380, or so I am told.

Hmmm. A toaster was about the only item worth mentioning. Purchases get a little less exciting when you gotta budget
