Hey, up until January I had 939 and I'd still be happy if I was using it now, I had a 4200+. I only really changed to the E4300 for an overclocking experiment, it wasn't even intended to be my main PC initially!

- No such thing! The only PSUs of that rating get very loud under load :-(

Only the 24" and 27" dells (revision A04) are compatible with the PS3 due to HDCP, the 30" that I have isn't.

Fair enough, I never liked that many Thermaltake cases, but there you go.

No such thing, only 24-bit, and that never gets used, 16-bit 48Khz is plenty enough, you won't notice the difference

A Barracuda is a Seagate. I personally vote Samsung for large drives at the moment.
I download a lot of HD films, and I mean a lot, and so far I've only used 1300GB of storage, I can envisage 5TB taking ages to fill, one person I know has only just got to 5TB after spending months and months getting games, films, HD films, tv episodes and all sorts.

Just bear in mind the Corsair 620W HX unit can run two 8800GTX cards in SLI with a Water-cooled and overclocked Quad core Processor, without crashes.
800W still the minimum now?

My bad, but we're talking about Dream computers here. The only experience I had with benq was a nightmare. Shoddy tat.

Yes, you do, but nothing more than a basic SoundBlaster.

So that'll be all of about 400-500GB then. Why do you need 5000?
