Newbie 1st custom build need help please.

Folks,

Thanks for all your advice.

I will make the order tomorrow afternoon if I get the time to go out otherwise it will be in the evening.

I will take my sweet time to build it as far as I am concerned.

Cheers

one other small thing - have you taken cooling into account?
A lot of people replace the stock fan on the h50 with something like a sharkoon silent eagle or a fractal design, as apparently the stock fan is noisy.

it seems the case already comes with fans, but they could also be cheap nasty noisy things (i couldnt find any info on them) which might want replacing at some point as well.
But at the same time they could be just fine, so i guess you'll have to wait and see on that one...

Thanks for the suggestion but I will see how it goes with the stock H50 fan before I do anything to it.

Just ordered my unit but not very happy ... read the next post.

Not Happy ...

Hi Folks,

Just to update you that I have ordered all the specs as discussed yesterday as promised but I am not a happy bunny for several reasons.

1) The price suddenly jumped up when I ordered! Someone must have seen me coming ...

The Corsair XMS3 4GB jumped from £94.99 (inc VAT) to £109.99 (inc VAT) and it's not even Wednesday yet. £15 different ! :(

The Samsung SH-B083L/RSBP 8x BluRay ROM/16xDVDRW drive ... jumped again from £49.99(inc VAT) to 53.99(inc VAT) ... :eek:

2) Out of Stock ... arrghhh ... suddenly Lian Li PC-351B was no longer available and I ended up buying a Red PC-351R case instead ... not happy at all especially the price jumped from £88.99 (inc VAT) to £104.99 (inc VAT). :eek: :mad:

Why on earth different colour demands more? In fact I just wanted plain aluminum colour or no colour at all ... aarrggghhhh ... IMO they should not charge differently for different colour. Just stock the colour that people want and sell more of it instead. :confused:

3) Out of Stock ... arrghh ... ArctiClean Thermal Material Remover and Surface Purifier - 60ml Kit ... so I guess I need buy it from my local computer store now.:(

I am not bothered about a few quids but the different between the price of Lian-Li case PC-351Black Vs PC-351Red is £16 simply for the different colour and that's not even the colour I want ... arrghhh ... I just want plain aluminum colour that's all. :mad:

Final price jumped from approx £1254.77 to £1285.46 ... £30 plus different ... which I could used for upgrading the fan on H50 ... arrghhhh ... but I am okay with RAM price changes though for whatever reason.

:(

Hi Guys,

Yes, I have ordered the lot.

I expected the RAM price to fluctuate from time to time for whatever reason so I am not that bothered but for the casing price variation because of the colour that I think it's a bit too much ...

I will call them tomorrow to see if they are getting some in before the delivery.

:(

Yes, have narrowed down to Logitec X-140 speakers (can't play loud music/film where I live) and am eyeing up Microsoft wireless comfort desktop 5000 (Win7 compatible) keyboard & Mouse too. :D

p/s: system is stable now. Just got my printer working with Win7x64 two hours ago so all go. hhmmm ... next is finding alternative to bloody Adobe Flash plugins and perhaps camera driver (not sure I need that as I might just get a SD memory card reader).
