I've had a Lian-Li PC-V1000B with a 600w Seasonic PSU and a Creative elite pro sound card sitting around doing nothing for the last 18months while I've used my M1710 and am thinking of chucking in some new components. I've thought about the list below:

Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 LGA775 'Wolfdale' 3.00GHz (1333FSB) - Retail £116.99
(£137.46) £116.99

HIS ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB GDDR3 TV-Out/Dual DVI/HDMI (PCI-Express) - Retail £109.99
(£129.24) £109.99

Asus P5Q Intel P45 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard £89.99
(£105.74) £89.99

LG GGC-H20L Blu-Ray Reader & HD-DVD ROM Serial ATA Drive - Retail £55.99
(£65.79) £55.99

Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 500GB SATA-II 32MB Cache - OEM (ST3500320AS) £39.99
(£46.99) £39.99

OCZ 4GB (2x2GB) PC2-6400C5 Dual Channel Vista Gold Series DDR2 (OCZ2G8004GK) £31.99
(£37.59) £31.99

Sub Total : £444.94
Shipping cost assumes delivery to UK Mainland with:
DHL @ Home Next Day (Delivered Mon-Fri)
(This can be changed during checkout) Shipping : £8.99
VAT is being charged at 17.5% VAT : £79.44
Less 2.5% VAT Discount Discount : -£11.36
Total : £522.01

Does it look alright? The main question I have is with regards to a decent cooler for the processor and putting stuff in the case in general. Does anyone with experience of the strange layout of the V1000B have any useful information?

Cheers
