Home computer arrangment

Yeah, setting aside that you might not be able to play older games, that's a pretty beefy rig. And for that price, you could do a lot worse.

The price is actually pretty good. I have been searching around to see what the same machine costs from other retailers.
It seems the average price including goods tax is 11 000 NoK ($1892, €1320), but that does not include office 2007 or the insurance. Our price offer is 9577 NoK ($1647, €1148) without tax benefit.
Some guys here pay 46% tax and with the tax benefit (deduct the money before calculating tax) they would nearly get it for half price.
Sadly I am using all the loopholes in our tax system and only pay 18% tax. My price would be 7853 NoK ($1352, €942) ...

I don't know what to do. We just bought a desktop a few months ago. And wifey is against it.

Well, the two things I find fault with it is the Vista OS and the Blu-Ray disc drive.

Aside from that, its a very good computer, but is the money worth spending there (or not depending on tax ) I also wouldn't want the "wifey" against it too.

all imo of course.

I'd say they're definitely two plus points.
The wife however is someone one should listen to, perhaps she wants the old new desktop for herself so you can have this new one.

If you are going to do anything relatewd to networking I reccomend Vista. If you're going to be gaming, I reccomend Vista. I'd consider maybe losing half a gig of RAM and going for 32-nbit, instead, as there are still a couple of compatability issues.
