Looks good, might want to change the HSF to the Tuniq and the OS to XP Professional

Will the Tuniq fit ok into the Lian-Li case, was'nt 100% sure it would?

Regarding the OS, ages ago his pc broke he did'nt have much of a clue so he paid someone to reformat and install windows xp pro.

A few day's later he tried to do a windows update and it turned out this guy has put a pirate copy on and still charged him £60 for it. He ended up having to shell out £90 to microsoft for a legal copy etc.

This pc that has Xp pro on is now a total mess, would I be able to transfer that OS to this PC that i'm building.? Will I have to contact Microsoft or something?
