I don't know how you add your basket to the forum, so forgive me. :p

Can't decide between this Memory, I was recommended the Vulcan RED but for the same price I can get the Xtreem.

I don't need a OS or a GPU since am going to use my old kit and drives.

Anything else I should add or need?

Thanks for that.

Any reason for the TD03 CPU cooler over the H60?

Will the change in PSU be good enough to run Xfire/SLI at a later date? (Currently have a 6950/70 2GB), I also be adding like 15 HDD's thus is the reason I want the Corsair case.

That's a good point, might as well upgrade to a i7 if the difference is only £40.

The i5 bundle I've specced is much cheaper than your choices so its £90 to upgrade to the i7 (in that bundle), so not worth it really. The i5 will be good for you.

The PSU wont handle SLI/Xfire youll need a leadex 750w or similar for that.

Thars a lot of HDD's wouldnt it be worth building a NAS for them rather than puttibg them in your rig? If your putting them all in add another 100w just in case (650/850).

I don't know of a case that can take 15 HDDs.

The TD03 is better (thicker) and cheaper.

Thought the current PSU wouldn't be able to handle it. Will upgrade to the 750W or possible 800W.

Building a NAS would be too expensive. I could just use the PC am using now, but I really don't like connecting to and from servers to watch things, there is also the power on leaving it on and the hassle of that. (Power switch is inside the case because I broke the proper one). The Corsair will allow me the option of filling it with HDD's if I decide not to go with a server setup.

I been reading some reviews on the TDO3 on Egg and seems many users had problems with it, really put off it now but I haven't researched reviews on the H60 so will do that tomorrow and stack up against each other.
