What PC for GTL?

[Static man]

Hi,

Currently I've a Mac, but I'm thinking of getting a PC to play GTL (and maybe do the odd thing I can't do on the Mac).

What is the recommended PC spec for this task please?

Does anyone, by any chance, know somewhere reliable that sells/specializes in such PCs?

I assume a laptop is no go; it'd be nice not to need another big box - but whatever.

OK, thanks. I've the DFPro. Does GTL have a clutch? If so what do you use for the extra peddle?

So what would be the cost/benefit analysis of some graphics cards? i.e. how much for good, excellent and the best results?

I don't fancy building stuff though - I've a Mac remember - we don't know anything or want to know what's under the hood.

So, as dobbo mentioned, decide what you prefer, a slightly worse looking game but still a game that is a hoot to play, or all the bells and whistles.

Well, yeah, thanks. That's what I'm trying to find out - what the cost and spec *is* of a bells and whistles machine...

Thanks all.

I suspect, Digby, I'd be like you, since I tend to get obsessed with 'issues' no
one else seems bothered by.

I posted the same question elsewhere, and the first couple of replies
suggested my ball-park estimation of ~£1200 (with no monitor) was extravagant. Lot of threads recommending build yer own
("it's not that difficult; just connect 5 or 6 items". Trouble is, when it doesn't work, it'll be much grief methinks.

If I understand you, you can't have to good a video card for GTL.

There are cheap gaming machines it seems, but some of the bits could be cheap.

More research needed...
