I was gonna take some piccy's during build and post 'em. This will be my 1st real serious overclocking attempt (My old rig was an athlon XP2800 that went from 2.083Mhz to 2.23Mhz and then would just say no more

)

Ive got a Tagan 2Force 530W U22 PSU (2 x 12V rails) which should do the Job. As for case thats another matter, however it is big enough to take 8800GTS as I checked card length (220mm x 100mm x 32mmm for card).

I'll see if I can find a piccy of case and post as I cant remember which one it is Doh!

Her in doors has strict instructions. Course that does present a new set of problems like "Whats that bit do?" and "Where does that go?" but she can take a good snap. (Was that too much information?)
