Well I think I must be very close to my final build. I'm quite into the Akasa Eclipse 62 case with the thermally advanced side panel but quite a few people have suggested getting a Lian Li but I'm not so sure. If anyone can suggest something as big and as good as cooling as the Akasa, please say so. Anyway, here is the latest spec:
Intel Core 2 DUO E6700 "LGA775 Conroe" 2.67GHz (1066FSB) - Retail (CP-129-IN) £349.95
Asus P5W DH Deluxe WiFi (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard (MB-152-AS) £149.95
OCZ GameXStream 700w Silent SLI Ready ATX2 Power Supply (CA-019-OC) £94.95
G.Skill 2GB DDR2 HZ PC2-6400 (2x1GB) CAS4 Dual Channel Kit (F2-6400PHU2-2GBHZ) (MY-013-GS) £147.95
ATI Radeon X1900 ***Crossfire Edition*** 512MB GDDR3 TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (GX-045-CO) £254.95
HIS Excalibur ATI Radeon X1900 XT-X ICEQ 3 SILENT Heatpipe 512MB GDDR3 AVIVO TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (GX-052-HT) £299.95
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 250GB ST3250620AS SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM (HD-079-SE) £52.50
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 250GB ST3250620AS SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM (HD-079-SE) £52.50
NEC ND4570 16x16 DVD±RW Dual Layer ReWriter (Black) - OEM (CD-030-NE) £21.95
Mitsumi FA 404M 7in1 USB 2.0 Floppy & Media Drive - Black (HD-002-MI) £12.95
Akasa Eclipse 62 Aluminium Case (CA-005-AK) £69.95
Akasa Eclipse 62 Thermally Advanced Side Panel (CA-016-AK) £19.50
Logitech G15 Gaming-Grade Illuminated Keyboard - Retail (UK Layout) (KB-077-LG) £59.95
Logitech Cordless G7 Gaming-Grade Laser Mouse (KB-070-LG) £41.95
Steelpad S&S Mouse Pad (GS-006-IC) £12.50
Creative Inspire 7.1 T7900 Speakers - OEM (SP-057-CL) £56.95
Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 Edition inc. SP2 - OEM - 1Pk (ZAT-00054) (SW-022-MS) £79.95
Viewsonic VX2235wm 22" Widescreen LCD Monitor - Black (MO-060-VS) £299.95
(Watercooling, sadly not from OcUK - if only they'd stock Danger Den products)
DD 1/2" TDX Intel 775 £32.73
DD 1/2" Tyee X-Fire Kit £125.99
XSPC 5.25 Bay-Res £17.01
1/2" NexXxos Xtreme III £31.48
1/2" Mag II LE Pump £29.99
Tygon 1/2" ID Hose 1ft *6 £13.74
Zerex 50ml £3.40
UV Blue Revealing 25ml £4.25
Now I plan to buy all of this on Saturday but I've got some worries about the compatability of all the components and also the mobo since I've heard a few are still floating around that don't support the Conroe (but will with a new Bios flash) but sadly I don't think I have an old Intel to put into it to upgrade the bios.
If some people could maybe do a little research to aid me in compatablity and the problems with the mobo. If I remember correctly, the Asus P5W DH Deluxe WiFi handles 4-8GB of RAM (I think 8 but I may be wrong). If someone suggests another mobo, try and see if you can find out that has a huge memory capacity like this one. I'm looking for a highly upgradable PC.
Many thanks
