About LinkBacksThe Enermax Modu82+ PSU's are quieter than the Corsairs and there's the 425w one which would still have PLENTY of headroom with that setup. Less noise and less money.

Pretty much average price I think, certainly not bad though.
I decided I will get a new hard disk - any suggestions on a system drive which would be fast and quiet? there are many different reviews out there so it's hard to follow current "best drive" !
I will be buying 2x "1tb drives" for storage in my server so not too much will be going on the system drive. I will eventually get SSD but for now??
Western Digital 320g Single platter drive is a great performer and quiet too.
Deffinatly. if you can't get hold of that teh 640GG AAKS is £50 (around £15 more than the 320GB) and is based on two 320GB single platters. A fantastic drive, well both fantastic drives.Originally Posted by Koolpc
I noticed scan have a range of Seagate Barracuda drives on todayonly - are these just as good?
Nothing special compared to the price of the 640GB AAKS.
Sounds good - I see ebuyer have this one:
Western Digital WD6400AAKS 640GB Hard Drive SATAII 7200rpm 16MB Cache - OEM
£48.99 - cheaper than scan.
(I have to order some stuff from them anyhow - the PowerColor HD 4870 gfx card, Scythe Ninja II etc.. scan don't have these currently.)
Sounds good to me.. a bargain. Ninja 2 as well... will need some pics of that bad boy
Just a quick question I noticed quiet a few people opting for the Kentsfield Core rather than the Yorkfield wondered why
Thanks

I bought the same motherboard (EP45-DS3). In fact my new system is similar to yours. I still have to pick up my new case this Saturday so I haven't had chance try it out yet, but it seems great. It has a better layout than the Asus P5Q series in my opinion. Apparently overclocks well, if you like that sort of thing, and I haven't seen any negative reviews. The BIOS has a lot of features, like the Asus boards. (I have no particular allegiance, my previous two motherboards where MSI and Asus.) Eight USB ports and two ethernet ports on the back is very welcome :-)
Look at the prices.
