Poll: Spend Major Clanger's Dosh!

major_clangerMy PC is getting rather long in the tooth (it's a bit of a Frankenstein's Computer now, but at heart is a 350 MHz K6/2, with 3.5 Gb HDD but a moderately new GeForce 2 graphics card). I've been thinking about upgrading, but the only thing that really needs more performance would be games, and having just had a chance to try out both an XBox and GameCube I am sorely tempted just to get a new console instead.
A check of my shoebox confirms that I do have some dosh (the various potential financial catastrophes that prevented us from going to Worldcon having receded, if not disappeared). A console plus some games would be £250 or so. A new PC (2GHz CPU, 60 GB HDD, GeForce 4 graphics, DVD drive etc) would be perhaps £750 - I'm planning on hanging on to my current 17" monitor until 18" flatscreens come down a bit. So, what should I do...?
