And it only cost £251 ;)

UPDATE: I had to flip the Northbridge heatsink by 180 degrees to get the AC Silencer to fit LOL

UPDATE: This system now consists of - AMD Athlon 64 4000+ skt939 (@ 2.64GHz), XFX GeFORCE 7900GS '450M' 256mb PCI-E (@ 500MHz/1400MHz),

2x 512mb DDR400 Premier OCZ Dual Channel (running @ 203MHz / 1T), ASUS A8V-VM and Ive added another HDD, a Western Digital 7200rpm SATA-II. Ive also just added a COLORSit 550W 'silent' PSU, Arctic Cooling Silencer 64 Ultra and hopefully will be getting another 2x 512mb of RAM very soon ;)

Im really pleased with it now (after going from a decent PC, well at the time, to this one) Hopefully I can add another 2x 512mb of RAM asap (coz I cant afford to sell my current RAM and get 2x 1GB sticks) and I will then be able to play BF2142 :)

Im going to have to overclock it again now Ive got a better cooler fitted ;)

I've got the same case and found that you get better cpu temp by reversing the rear 120mm fan. As it is, exhausting air, it moves air that the cpu fan needs. By reversing the fan you provide cool air to the cpu fan. But you only have the PSU fan exhausting air so case temp may rise a little unless you have a gpu HSF that exhausts.

Otherwise it's a nice neat case. I bought the windowed version with a silver front.
