    Anything i could do to this with £80?

    Well, my m8 wants to buy my ipod for £80 and im thinking of selling it, i do use it alot and would miss it, but i dont need it to live tbh.
    My system is to the << and im just wondering if theres anything you would do to it with £80. I was thinking of getting decent CPU HSF and a decent GPU HSF. Do you get Motherboard fan replacements? My asus ones loud.

    Thanks


    Needs new monitor / speakers / headphones / keyboard.
    Before that i need money :s

    It might be worth saving for a new monitor.

    You can get a Zalman PASSIVE Northbridge cooler for &#163;6-7

    Good luck.

    He uses it a lot, would miss it and his current system looks fine to me. That is why.

    Keep the iPod. If you don't, at least PM me your address so that I can come round your house and give you beats for being such a silly man. Thanks.

    there's not really a worthwile upgrade to your machine for &#163;80 so keep the ipod and enjoy it.

    Since most of you dont think theres anything i could do with £80 ill probs keep it. Theres still that temptation to sell it and get a 5.1 gaming headset though, would be really handly for CSS, as i currently dont have a headset. If i spent 40 quid ish on something like that i could then save for a new 5.1 speaker system (see my other post).

    If you absolutely had to spend 80 quid on your system you could get two 40 quid hard drives and run them in RAID 0 (if your m/bo supports that), giving you another 160GB of fast storage.
