    I just heard it comes out monday..

    It's a nice PC everything is spot on from what I can see. Monitor is fine, there's no compatability issue's that I can see.

    what's the 80mm fan for though?

    Re: Last minute check

    Somewhere in the region of £150 - £170 depending on the brand but if the benchmarks from the current reviews are true it nips at the heels of the GTX

    ahhh yes i do remember the thread.. are you going to float it with string?

    P5K....I'd go with the Abit myself, but each to their own.

    I'm not a fan of Vista yet, but if you are going to use it, go 64bit.
