@S_M: I can't tell you for definite (I'm in the Canary Islands and so its sitting at home as we speak) but I'm pretty sure its a GT555. And I agree with you, but I had no downstairs space for a desktop (and I hate being shut in my room all day) and I like it being portable (which mine is, or I'm just a tank :D)

Oh and I'm a coffee guy, so your point there is invalid different to mine :gawe:

Wait, mine is an i7 and TRB's is i5. Well blow me.

Well get on the next plane back and find out! :P
Any by portable, I mean it would convenient to for example, take a trip around London with it. But yeah, all opinion. Don't you just love internet debates?

Of course, internet debates are fun! Well, as long as the other perspn isn't a complete bigot (which you quite clearly aren't ;D)

It depends what you mean by portable. I wouldn't be comfortable under your arms all day but inside a shoulder-strapped laptop bag its brilliant.

And I'm 99% sure its either a 555GT or a GT555. Whichever way round.

:FFFUUU

My new 'gaming' computer runs BF3 at approx. 5 FPS and I can't find out how to change tabs in the system settings. So this 1k desktop is only marginally more powerful than my dad's Laptop (Judging by how well Minecraft runs), which is 1 year older and half the price.

In short; it's big, expensive and bloody useless. >=(
lol, what specs you got there? I can run Skyrim on high smoothly with my £500 PC.
Geforce GTX 570 graphics card
 
Intel Core i5-2500k CPU (overclocked), running at 3.3GHz
 
8gb DDR3 RAM
 
That's what I don't understand. Everything should be fine, the specs are perfectly good enough.
 
Oh, and anyone know what this is?

Those are a fan controller, if you don't have room on the motherboard for more 3-pin fans, you can plug them into the 3-pin ports and plug the 4 pin part into your power supply and the other 3-pin plug into the PCI mini-card. Secure the mini card with a screw, and turn the knob to adjust the fan speed.

How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

Thanks. Guess that means I don't need it, I have a nice little program that lets me control the overclocking and fans, which is useful.
 
So, anybody know why it's running so slowly? :(

Have you tried checking the background processes for programs eating up your CPU or RAM? Some computers come with a lot of useless junk that slows the computer down. Try getting rid of anything you don't need.

Why would you care? I don't think you have much authority over this and if you even have an idea of what they are. :P (I know I don't)
