New Conroe Build

[darrensen]

Just a minor thing, but didn't the 80mm Sharkoon 1000 get slated in this months CustomPC mag? apparently it just doesn't move much air. I seem to remember they said the 2000 was much better and still really quiet.

Ah ok maybe i'll go with the 2000 range.

I've got another build to do now for the mrs. She wants a media/gaming pc so i'll start a new thread.

Please let me know where i could improve or save a few quid.

I can save you £15...

Postage. You can get free shipping from Scan. You've got enough posts, don't know how often you contribute, but there's a sticky at the top of each forum. Read that, if you qualify, that's £15 off for you.

Easy peasy!

Now in return, your Gaming Bomb 2 case - is it any good? Most importantly, does it keep things quiet?

Yeah i get bits from Scan all the time using the free postage.

Yeah the gaming bomb 2 case does well at keeping things quiet. It's also a good case to work on. I like it.

Dont get the crazy Case, the cooling wont probably be great, especially for when you want one of those tasty DX10 GPUS in there.

Its a big waste of money IMHO.

Much better with an AKASA mirage or eclipse.
And a nice 600w seasonic, should get you to £200.

That would save you £100 to go towards a DX10 card.

Thanks for your reply. After reading your post your absolutely right!

I'm gonna get another quote from scan and repost.

Ok heres the new plan, let me know what you think about this one? Again i'll use my 6800GT until DX10 is out.

Why haven't you bought it yet?
Perfect tbh! Bit late to order the E6600, it may be a bit of a long wait

It's burning a hole in my pocket!!!

I've gotta sell my current machine to my old man first. He wont have the money until end of the month, so that gives Scan some extra time to get the cpu in stock!

[krazy_olie]

By that time a better deal might arise too
