Will I need any kind of cable for that DVD drive as it says OEM :confused:

None, you have EIDE Cables with your Mobo and Molex Power plugs on your PSU.

Could any1 just check this spec and make sure its all ok, as im trying to go and collect it today.....

Are there any compatibility issues atall?

Many Thanks.

I would swap the x1950 pro to 3850 much newer card and DX10 capable.

The X1950's are just the best of the budget cards. I had one, on my old PC, and it seems as fast as my 8800GT. (Haven't played any games yet, though

)

Go for the Dx10 card for the sake of a extra £20 you get a card that is a lot better value and will last a lot longer if they ever release DX10 for xp...

get a 3870 if you can stretch to it, much better than the 3850.

Bought the above spec, cheers for the comments. Just trying to put it together now. :lol:

LiamD · 24 Dec 2007 at 18:00

Spent the afternoon putting it together, have all the components in, just stuck on installing the CPU cooler. (Artic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro) I can get 3 of the corners connected, but the 4th doesn't seem to want to connect. :confused:

BTW, the board is in the case, might it be worth taking it out to connect it?

After that just gotta find where all the relevant cables go

This is harder than I 1st imagined. lol.
