Cool, but i am worried, i go to lots of bit torrent sites like eztv, btjunkie etc. I download and leave my comp on and I am worried about protection. Will MSSE do a good job? Also I use to use kasperky but have heard the 2011 version slows down the computer and Norton.. I've always had problems. Are thier any premium Internet security software you guys can recommend as well? I was going to go for Kaspersky again but from reviews people say it slows down their comp which would not be nice :(. Norton 360 is garbage, but the Norten Internet Secruity has gotten good reviews but it always seem to limit your freedom online. So anymore Internet security softwares to consider?

I also use a lot of torrent sites and only use MSE and Windows Firewall. Remember, neither of those will help if you download a malicious file through a torrent site and open it up. You've got to use some common sense as well. I wouldn't touch Norton at all, load of resource eating rubbish.
Still to MSE and common sense, you'll be fine.

Since price isn't an issue here then consider getting the paid version of AVG, it's currently the best anti-virus software available.

Thanks PCS. As soon as i read the review on the sabre i thought... MUST HAVE! I know you guys dont do parts seperatly but i hope that changes in the future because the passion here shows other comp companies are souless(dell,ibm) And i am happy to know my money is going to someone who has a real passion and will make me come back (need a laptop for work probs in 8 months) But i hope you change your stance on sellign parts I would love to upgrade this pc from you guys as well.

As far as anti virus is concered i'll try MSE and Windows firewall.

We are considering selling parts to existing customers only, through your online account, but as this would be a big development for us it's likely to be months away...
