    Typically you will find the xig on www.scan.co.uk/todayonly for around £15, so it does prove very cheap if you are willing to wait it out.

    The scythe ninja 2 would probably get my money though.

    Great, I will wait it out probably.
    In the meantime, I'll check out some reviews for the scythe ninja 2 cooler

    Update:
    Have ordered the CPU(q9450 for 185 pounds) and the RAM(4gb corsair 8500 5-5-5-15) before the today offer ended in Scan..
    I have also ordered the graphics card because I found a great bargain here:XFX GTX260 XXX Edition £163.48 delivered.. I found it to tempting to let it by, so I changed my initial video card plans (163 pounds including delivery!).

    Re: Yet another new build thread

    Since I now have the XFX GTX260, and before ordering the case, I was wondering if the GTX260 will fit in the Antec P182 which I am about to get.

    If not, what case do you suggest at about the same price and as quiet as possible?

    My 8800GTS fits in a P182, so it'll be fine, if not, remove the upper drive bays
