Yes, after waiting since who knows how long ago, I finally got the go-ahead to make the purchase for a brand-new computer so I can get back to flying in X-Plane as I always want to go back! This should mean more new liveries for all of you who want to see some more of my work, and I am considering making more scenery and updating the old stuff too.

I purchased it from Computer Planet UK, who have so far been very good. Everything seems reasonably priced to me and I had a lot of fun playing with their configurator beforehand too. In the end, it cost me £830.96 excluding VAT. A lot of money but I’m sure it will be worth it. Should be arriving in about a week or so so I’ll be sure to post whatever I can say about it once it arrives and I set everything up (read: Install a shed-load of X-Plane stuff – 80GB of scenery alone!).

for us nerdy folks, here are the specifications for my new machine:
