I am nearing the end of my contract, last year I left this Desktop at home

Dell
P4 3.0
2gb ram
2 x Radeon X600 SE 128mb

Do you think its worthlugging it back from england? it kind of irritates me that it is at home depreciating. maybe its just one of those things.

For the record, I do want to play fairly high-end games which that machine enabled me to do, though back then it was Battlefield 2, farcry etc

So. Bring it back or Buy a new one?

Sell it in England (where it will fetch a better price) and buy a new one.

Agreed. That computer in England won't play new games well. Mostly because of the graphics cards.

Try to sell it for about 250 quid in England, (what's the monitor worth?) and go shopping in Yongsan. Add maybe another 500,000 won and you could get a very nice desktop. The new monitor will be the most expensive part probably. But they are getting pretty cheap now. 300,000 for a 22'' widescreen is possible.
