Thanks for all the info guys... Superdan not really into games so nothing in that department.. Im really asking on behalf of my old man, what I was thinking is giving him my computer, its nothing special but would be perfect for his needs, and have him 'invest' a little into getting me a new computer.. Its a pentium 4 blabla, 2gig ram, 160gig HDD, 512mb video and 5.1 channel sound card, has an awsome wireless mouse(I've been through heaps and this one has stood up for ages now, only needing to change batteries once in 2 years I think). Wont really need a keyboard I dont think... What ya'll reckon? Also the plasma's owners manual says I need audio cables from the pc to the tv, and going by the pics the look sorta like AV sorta cables. My pc dont have those sort of sound outputs..
