    Cheers greensman, added the OCZ StealthXstream 600W. Only 4 euro extra.
    I probably won't be going mad on overclocking. I'll try and figure out that XP problem with the 4gigs of ram is all about and let you know what I find.

    Sapphire and HIS are both excellent brands of graphics cards, I highly recommend them, as I do the OCZ StealthXStream PSU.

    Nah too expensive. I'm trying to not go over 80 bucks after shipping.

    So far the Antec 900 fits the bill.

    Yeah they are worth getting. I'm gonna go get a Quad Core for future proofing but if you are getting a Dual core they are the things to get!

    He is just joking, but if you look under your name it says newbie. Now if you look under Greensman's name it will say Senior Member. That's where you are in the food chain right now lol.

    Nah I'm just kidding. Rank doesn't really mean much here. Enjoy :)

    Also GM nice find on the case. But after shipping and stuff it's only 20 dollars less than the Antec 900, which is probably a better case. It's flashier certainly, and while I don't prefer that prospective buyers do.

    Thanks for the link anyway.

    P.S. I've bought for Zip Zoom Fly three times and none of my rebates have ever come in.

    yea that E8400 is priced so cheap im just wondering if there might be some drawbacks to it...only $189 over at microcenter. and they have plenty of them

    that sure wold look nice on a GA-P35-DS3R mobo, in a nice new CM RC-631 case....what ya think Greenie? maybe some GREEN led fans????

    @BOOZER...lol
    it says SR member under GM's name cause he is a SR...old fart he is...lmao
