The next-to-last time we were at ALDI, I was again tempted by the PC on offer there (which I had previously seen in their newsletter).

Several of its stats are better than those of my current machine, and more in line with what I'd like to upgrade mine to, for example the 3 Gb of RAM (which my current motherboard can't take -- it can only handle 2, at least according to Crucial's applet thingy) and the nVidia 8600 GT graphics card (I currently have an 8400 GS).

*sigh*

Anyone have seven hundred euros or so lying around they don't need?

(Translation: we could afford it in theory, but I can't justify that expense right now.)

No, but I have fifteen euros in my wallet! It looks like play money to me. Yes, I know it's worth a boatload more than our dollar at the moment. But it just looks fake.
