Already ordered??

Did u see my thread:

http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=57820.15

Its handling 18 tables a piece of p*ss; also deals with HEM along with different poker sites all running at once...plus I've been online at same time. Still rapid.

Yeh but with table ninja 2 running aero it crashes at about 18 tables.  Plus I used it for a ton of other stuff (work, recording videos, gaming etc) so I really dont mind spending the money.  Even my current alienware setup starts to struggle at around 20 and crashes at 25 tables.

You'd do worse than pick up a 2tb (or something) HDD as a second hard drive to store the files on, 250gb SSD will fill up quickly, especially with videos, games and music on top of the normal programs you will use.

Thats OK I have a 1TB external for stuff like that.  But I don't download music and videos (just watch everything on Netflix, Lovefilm, NowTV etc).  In all the time ive had this laptop with a 320GB drive I've never exceeded 100GB.  About once a month I just sit a delete stuff and do disk cleanup, right weirdo with computers me.

GL mate! My computer knowledge is semi-decent although I've never built one. I have replaced quite a few different components and I don't think it would be too difficult. Plus, it will be fun and a learning experience!

I am sure you can spend £500 and get a high end computer (for poker) these days. The computer I have atm is 6 years old, cost me £800 in parts and my mate built it (was compared to a £1500 pc in the shops) and was the bees knees back then. POS now and I need an upgrade.

Let me know how you get on!

You just use boot amp and have windows.
