Go with Vista 64 to try something new and so u can see all 4 gig of your ram. Tuniq tower is a bit of a pain to install (have to remove mobo) and instruction booklet is carp (find a guide on google) but on the whole it is a good cooler, quiet and does the job + it looks great in the case ;)
 
Thanks :)

Out of interest while i start loking around at how to install the tuniq tower.

Does anyone have a link to a decent site with screenies of the process?

I checked tuniq and it talks about removing part of the seating from the motherboard by pushing plastic holders out of the bottom of the mobo. Im a bit concerned with this as the image sshown etc are not very helpful...
 
Hmm i dont know any sites, but its really not too hard. This is my first build and i found it a piece of cake. i didnt have any plastic seating in the mobo so the screws just went straight through the standard 775 cooler holes into a bracket that you have to stik to the other side
 
You should be alright looking at the mobo, should just fit in around the heatsinks, it did on my P5K pro board. Since the IP35 pro has less heatsinks i cant see it being an issue
 
I put the tuniq on a 478 p4 and removing the plastic pins from the original mounting on the mobo was a bit fiddly - felt like i was either going to put the screwdriver through my hand or the board but luckily didnt slip :eek:

Cant remember which guide i used but just googled.
 
Nice choice of ram, have got 2GiG myself but plan on moving too 4 GIG as have just obtained 64bit business.

What is the build quality like on the case, thinking of getting one just wanted ot make sure it is a well built case.

Yes this removing of the original mounting thing is what worried me; mainly because i havent had to do anything remotley similar before and i dont like the idea of stabbing a screwdriver into a mobo i just bought in order to pull bits off. Just seems wrong...

I'll try find a guide showing the mounting and how to remove it safely i guess.

edit*****

Seems i wont need the step to remove the initial housing having had a closer look at the mobo and 775 socket there is no housing to remove. Unless of course i'm mistaken but then please feel free to correct me? :)
