Well I've been out of this for a while, but not without reason.
A few weeks ago my laptop died after a bad case of falling down the stairs. I did my research and ordered the parts to build a new pc. Last bit arrived Thursday so got it up and running and all was well.
By Friday night I'd finished installing Windows, photo software, games etc. And all was good, so I sat down to a nice game of sim city. About an hour in, BANG! Graphics card sets itself on fire and takes most of the rest of the pc out in the process.

So, a few more weeks while I sort out repair, replacement, and possibly insurance... b****r.
