Hi,

I'm just in the process of upgrading from my old AMD3200 AGP system to a new Core Duo system and have come up with the following parts:

CPU - Intel Core 2 DUO E4300
Mobo - Asus P5N-E SLi nForce 650
Memory - OCZ 2GB (2 x 1GB) PC2-6400 Dual Channel Platinum Revision 2 XTC Series DDR2 (OCZ2P800R22GK)
Graphics - BFG GeForce 8800 GTS OC 320MB
HDD - Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 320GB
PSU - Corsair HX 620W
Case - Akasa Eclipse 62 or Lian-Li PC V2000B PLUS
Fan controller - ???
Rubber mountings for fans and HDDs - ???
Quiet Fans - ???


Any mistakes with that setup or any recommendations??

I am still undecided on the case, I think its a toss up between those 2 above but would like to know which is the best for low noise and cooling. I've got to admit I like the look of the Lian li better but everyone seems to rave about the Akasa. Is the Lian li a similar size to this???

Also I will want to control the fan speeds when not playing games so do you recommend a fan controller or can I do it via software?

Thanks for looking!!

They are, that is an absolutely stonking spec :D . As far as fans go, I love my nexus fans (platonic :D ) but you can't get them here. Scythe S-Flex are also good apparently.

Case is a personal choice thing, I think they are both great tbh.

Edit: I knew you couldn't have thought of everything, you'll need a tuniq tower or a scythe mine/ninja for that CPU :D
