Wow, I never noticed that either haha, despite being the same units inside exactly the packaging must be considerably heavier or something

I would pay the £1 extra for the modular cables on the NZXT unit however :cool:

The golden greece isn't modular, NZXT is

ignore

Hmm, I always thought it was - description and google images say different!

"Flat modularized cables provide easy cable management while leading to better airflow."


Sorry though!

Ignore

You might want to add a DVD drive to that, if you were planning on installing Windows from a disc you can do it from a USB stick, but if you preferred a disk drive is only about £12

I'm not sure whether the motherboard comes with 3 SATA cables, if not you might want to buy another one for the disk drive or simply unplug it when not in use and put it into your hard drive

Sounds good, I'd stick with the USB if I were in your position. Is your old disk drive IDE or SATA (does it have a long ribbon-type connector to the motherboard or a small plug?) If it's IDE, it won't work with your new motherboard
 
Should do, SATA cables are pretty much all the same
Only difference generally is that the SATA 3 revisions have little clips on to lock it into place, nothing else I don't think :)
