Click to expand...

The Opterons are better for overclocking, if you are up for it just swap the opti for the x2 4400 in glens spec, if you plan to leave it at stock stick with the 4400 :)
 
What goods crossfire when he hasn't got any speakers or keyboard, mouse and the case will get hot without fans :D

although mine still sat in the warehouse as i've forgot courier charges :confused:

The things that jump out at me:-

I hate wireless mice

Do you need two optical drives? I like the NEC as many do on here

The P180 is a VERY VERY nice case and is great for building a silent machine. If you want silent look at the samsung hard disks
