£1 lol, how do you do it. Just lucky? Or do you watch everything.

Pics say a thousand words.

TBH the case you bought, looks better value than an antec 300 at £50

There is a list of the memory supported here: http://uk.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_775/P5KPLAM_EPU/#MSL

Its a bit outdated though so if its newer RAM than the list, it may still work, but if in doubt get some whats on the list to make sure.

edit. looking at the list it is in fact very outdated, it only has 1 or 2 types listed for 2gb sticks !?!

I would be very surprised if the Corsair 2x2 wasn't compatible though, don't think I know of a single ddr2 board that those don't work on.

It's quite hard to judge which memory etc, so i downloaded the manual.

Says i can have have 800mhz, 1066mhz, 667mhz (i think??)

Which to get???

I am getting confused with this ram business lol :confused: :D

it also only has 512mb and 1gb on the manual as well??

Also i have looked at the ocz platinum and the corsair xms2 ddr2 ram and they say CL5 on the spec, when on the mobo website it says non ecc unbuffered, so i am a little unsure on what to buy etc.

So if anyone could tell me alittle bit more on ram that would be good:D:D:D

You already asked, and I already said YUP :p

Looks good bud, White and black looks good.

Not loving the blue ide cable :(

I think I have a couple of black ones, as you are into bargains. I may just pop it up on the bay for 1p free postage :p

What about a grey one with red tips, it looks white in pics but it's not.

Oh sorry my fault not reading properly.

So what do other people think should i stick with them drives or get black ones??
 
Can you not get away with just the one.

Ideally you just need a dvd rw and that will do burning and playing of dvds/cd's ?

Grey looks better than blue, but tbh. You haven't got a window. So would really matter.

The blue LED fan you got is it 120MM yeah?
 
I like the white on black too.

That fan on the bottom looks like its blowing out, as hot air rises it won't be doing much good, it either wants to be an intake, or it wants to be blowing air out the back, as high as possible if you aren't putting another fan in.

also be careful of static when working on the carpet.

Yeah the fan is 120mm

The top opticle drive is a dvd rom compact disc rewritable drive, why should i just have the one??

I was doing it like this front fan intake, 2 side fans intake, fan at the back exhaust and fan down below exhaust maybe?

Yeah i know about the static but i thought whilst it's just opticle drives, fans nothing else i thought it would be ok??
 
Well you want to fit that at the front, so it should look cool through the black vented slots.

Take that tiny fan out, as I think it will be a screamer.

Fit a 120mm exhaust and maybe one on the side.

I doubt that small fan will do anything ;)
