Well, just got a new Akasa Eclipse and I'm going to be putting my new system together today. It should comprise:
Akasa Eclipse 62 Antec 480W True Blue Gigabyte K8N mobo Athlon 64 3500 Akasa Evo cooler (which i'm going to try and mod with dual ducts and twin Akasa Amber ultra quiet fans if there's room) 2 x 120mm Akasa Amber ultra quiet case fans (they don't come with the case) PNY 256Mb GeForce 6800 GT + Zalman V700 Copper cooler 2 x WD 74GB Raptors in RAID 0 2 x WD 37GB Raptors as temp storage NEC 3520 16x DVD-RW Aopen Chameleon 52x CD-RW Sony FDD Akasa Junior 3.5" fan controller I'm also going to sheath all the power cables and add new molex connectors - cable management is going to be a priority this time. When i upgrade my motherboard, chip and power supply, they ones above will go into my Lian Li V2000B tower along with some other spare parts as my second/test rig...unless of course anyone's interested in buying some of the spares when they become available?   Windows is now a 64 bit tweak of a 32 bit extension to a 16 bit user interface for an 8 bit operating system based on a 4 bit architecture from a 2 bit company that can't stand 1 bit of competition...So why the hell have I bought Vista?...OK so Win 7 is pretty good now. Asus P6T deluxe V2 | Quad Core i7 920 | Titan Fenrir HSF| 6Gb Corsair DDR3 | 300Gb Velociraptor + 150Gb Raptor + 2x74Gb Raptors | 2 x 768Mb Asus 8800GTX | Bigfoot Killer NIC | Silverstone TJ09 | Enermax Galaxy 1000W | Soundblaster X-Fi Fatality FPS | nVidia 3D Vision | Microsoft Sidewinder Keyboard | Saitek Cyborg RAT7 |

thats a good looking spec, but those raptors are so damned expensive! if only i had the money
 I always take life with a grain of salt, ... a slice of lemon, ...and a shot of tequila I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out  One more step to enlightenment ... but which way ?   |

...er..yes, if you want to kill a pcb with static, then that's certainly one of the most reliable!
