Decent build? Hack it to bits...

Yeah I need to push the price down as much as possible or I might be eating porridge for the rest of the year so I'll probably stick with the 939 solution as well.

Úlfhednar are you still going to wait for the Conroe considering the price drop or are you buying now? I guess I need to do a price comparison, but I'd much prefer one of you to just tell me that I'll save £100 on my spec if I wait or some such.

After weighing up all my alternatives carefully, I have decided I will probably wait until Conroe is launched and AMD slash prices on Socket 939 processors, then buy myself a DFI Expert and X2 4400+ for a hell of a lot cheaper than they are now. That'll tide me over until next summer, when I already planned to build a whole new system out of whatever brand-spanking new gear is out.

If you are planning to do Socket 939 instead of AM2 or Conroe, wait a few weeks like me, and you'll save a small fortune compared to buying right now.

I think I've managed to brush all the little devils of my shoulders for now. I'll wait until prices drop, its only sensible when it's likely to happen in a months time.

Thanks for the tip on the DFI LanParty NF4 SLI-DR EXPERT, looks gorgeous and after reading some reviews and checking the DFI site I want one! Whether I actually get one depends on the pricing and state of my budget in a months time. But although it sounds very futuristic and cool, what the hell is a "Magnetic-levitate fan on chipset heatsink". Magnetic-levitate???
