Just the base unit,no keyboard mouse,sorting the operating system myself.

Looking good,so just over 700 seems the least.

Yeah but i hate skimping on the case,silverstone is meant to be a good make isnt it?

RJC · 10 Jun 2010 at 20:42

Yes, they do quality cases.

mrteabag · 10 Jun 2010 at 20:46

Cool,looks like that case is going to replace the antec 300 as the budget case if its good.Does it have cable management?I cant find any reviews on it

RJC · 10 Jun 2010 at 20:48

It's a new case to Ocuk - http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18153682

Actually I think it's a new case generally!

stulid · 10 Jun 2010 at 20:50

doesnt look like it has cable management, just a hole in the motherboard tray to attach a performance cooler

mrteabag · 10 Jun 2010 at 20:51

Ok.Still beats the zalman z7 and the antec 300 imo

stulid · 10 Jun 2010 at 20:52

I believe it looks great, has decent cooling, comes from a great manufacturer.

Mr Krugga · 10 Jun 2010 at 20:59

Whatever RJC or stulid have speced but choose a different PSU.

any particular reason why?

Why?

OCZ are reasonable.

stulid · 10 Jun 2010 at 21:06

i actually made a mistake in my spec, i swear i clicked on the newer stealthXtreme2 version.

Mr Krugga · 10 Jun 2010 at 21:50

stulid said:

Sure. Non-modular and low efficiency. Case without a proper cable management plus a non-modular PSU = evil. It will be messy, period. Plus there are more stable power supplies able to provide high efficiency under heavy loads. They're not bad choices but when you spend so much money on a PC, you may as well throw another £10-20 and get a higher quality PSU.

Add in a Corsair HX650W

I dont think that will help the price

Mr Krugga · 11 Jun 2010 at 08:43

But Antec TruePower 550W wouldn't change it by much - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-118-AN&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=1088

Or get a modular OCZ if you're on a budget - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-037-OC&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=1098
