Hi I am just about to start my new build today when it all turns up. It has the spec bellow. But i am using an old drive from the old pc which i have check works fine. But while taking the old machine apart i noticed that there apears to be calcium deposits on the mother board and on the connections of all the PCI Cards. As far as i know no water has come into contact with it all though it did break suddenly.

where could this have come from? is it to do with case or location?
I live in newcastle and it sits on the floor under my desk

damp in the wall perhaps? high humidity?

looks good but i;d recommend the crucial m4 over the agility for reliability concerns
 
it may be humidity i think it is all over the board evenly so it makes sense. also the problem with the memory was that from the start or did it develop over time?
