That looks fine. Some might prefer a Western Digital WD5000AAKS hard drive but you look good to go.

You could also save a few quid and go dual core, E2180, unless you need the quad for certain tasks. That way you can look to upgrade to Quad next year when prices are lower and more games and software take advantage of the four cores.

Wicked. I'll order... Just hope i haven't forgotten anything

Hey crofty i thought i had already reserved your spec

Couldn't you ahve put it up as a nice picture instead lol. Much eastyer to follow

Im not sure about the optical drive, i cant remember if its ment to be a loud one. And im not sure about the cpu cooler. Normaly id say turniq but they are out of stock and the blue one has been hiked up because of it.

Yeah that looks great, should run pretty dman fast with that quad core and an 8800GT as well

I've got th WD version of that HDD and I've had not problems with it, but I mean Seagate are just as good. Oh btw my step up was form a PNY 6200 PCI to an 8800GT, and you really do notice the difference lol

Cr0fty · 24 Nov 2007 at 14:01

Hah wicked. Sorry 8igdave. It's not all from here, otherwise i would put up a sparkly picture

Hehe can't wait for christmas now !

MumboJumbo · 24 Nov 2007 at 14:02

Unexceptible. I expect one regardless

Cr0fty · 24 Nov 2007 at 14:05

MumboJumbo · 24 Nov 2007 at 14:08

Cr0fty · 24 Nov 2007 at 14:12

Cr0fty · 24 Nov 2007 at 14:25

MumboJumbo · 24 Nov 2007 at 14:49

perhaps time to update the signature

Cr0fty · 24 Nov 2007 at 15:00

I'll update it once the pc is up and working!

Haha. Might not ever get updated then. Dun Dun... Somethings bound to go wrong.

MumboJumbo · 24 Nov 2007 at 15:00

how much is it costing

MumboJumbo · 28 Nov 2007 at 18:35

You built it yet?

Cr0fty · 28 Nov 2007 at 19:06

It's for crimboo

MumboJumbo · 28 Nov 2007 at 20:33

As in on christmas day? But surely its best to have it up and ready for new games

Think you should bully the parents into letting you have it early lol.

Im going to order mine the moment i see those GTS's hit preorder. Still debating with my self evga or bfg?

I think im likely to be paying a premium above recomended retail price so i think ill go evga then i will be able to use their step up and it may actually be quite a bit cheaper plus i may be able to go sli with two of the newest cards which will come out in 90 days for not much more cash.
