Yeah I noticed that I'm using the 2 blue coloured slots only at the minute.

Cable management?? Panic over It fits :) A few install pics (note the EVO 212 is NOT in place yet is only resting on the CPU) My cable management could be better. I Might address that later. Cable management. I removed a couple of the crimp on sata cables as I didnt need 8 of them. Plus...

Precisely :) I've got a horrible feeling the EVO 212 won't fit in the case now the motherboard standoffs are on. Oh well case modding here i come

I was only thinking about it as in the future I "might" buy a Fan controller. For no other reason then it looks pretty/chavvy. I put it in the top in the end. Only managed to mount the drive, SSD and HDD last night, ran outa time as spent 1 1/2 hours faffing around with Orange Broadband SMTP...

Its gonna cost me £4.38 to send the panel back for the sake of getting a fiver back...il pass.

I can't do that! The universe would implode

Shiny things.. Random question here too but where do people like to put the Rom drive? I have 3 slots available and am thinking I should put it up the top, but then part of me thinks the bottom bay might be better.

Yeah to be honest I'm just gonna take the 9 quid hit for the side panel...it would cost me money to send it back so not worth it. Plus I could make the current side panel into a windowed one quite easily at work. Xigmatek list a window version on their site but from what o can see don't sell one...

Okay noted. Did a bit more reading up on SSD stuff yesterday afternoon and got abit more understanding of what the benefits were so added one as well. Ordered all the bits yesterday at 4pm and shiny things turned up about 2 hours ago. Although bit of a fail as I bought a windowed side panel...

Bit late to the party... Yes QQ Player. Install, drag files into the video folder and it refreshes itself when you open it. I've only had an issue with a couple of mp4's that have some weird codec when they were ripped. Sound is just silly low picture is fine.

Most townhouses I used to install on were setout like this...(aerial points in brackets) Ground floor...kitchen/dining room/toilet (one point possibly2) Second floor....Bedroom/bathroom/upstairs lounge (2 points) Top floor...Bedroom with ensuite/bedroom (2 points)

Your certain there isnt an aerial point in that bedroom?? Usually when they build a new house every bedroom/lounge/kitchen has an aerial point put in. Or I suppose its possible they only ran 4 points but the norm is about 6 in a 3 storey townhouse.

So windows on SSD and all games etc on HDD drive would be okay or not?

My only concern about ans SSD was also the fact the storage space is quite small. I had quite lot (20+) of games installed on my hdd. Some of them are like 14gb.

I already have an SSD that I can use. I went for the slightly more expensive psu as it had better wattage...I didn't want to get a PSU that wasn't capable of any future upgrades I might do. For the sake of £10 it was worth it. Re the SSD, I havent noticed much improvement in terms of speed...

Thanks for the helpful input...

Dont want one. Plus I have one here at work I can use if need be.

Reactions are slower for me :( It all went downhill when I hit 30. I get nailed in cod before I have even seen people sometimes

I think I'm sorted with what im going to buy now. Just over 700 and still need to buy a decent monitor! What I noticed is how the prices on ebuyer changes so randomly. The k series i5 was down at 170 earlier now its jumped upto 277 (not a huge difference i know) and then in the last half...

Im not sure actually. I literally whipped the side off and looked at the hdd fixing and that was it. Il have to take a proper look later.

CPU-Z will tell you what you have.. http://www.cpuid.com/downloads/cpu-z/1.62-setup-en.exe Then post up what you have under each tab?

We have an old Packard Bell PC from a few years ago (4-5). It has a relatively small hdd in it and we also have another PC that houses all my other halfs music and work bits etc I want get rid of her rediculously old and heavy one which means transferring all her bits on the hdd in the packard...

But im not "that bothered" about overclocking. Plus the K doesnt have a few of the features like vt-d

Any geeks more geeky then me able to tell me what the difference is between these 2..?? http://www.ebuyer.com/349029-intel-core-i5-3570k-3-4ghz-socket-1155-6mb-cache-retail-boxed-processor-bx80637i53570k and...

There are far too many new "toys" I want in the coming weeks ffs :(

Roughly what is in these 2 baskets shown below. Maybe a little bit more. PC for gaming and some PCB cading design and or chief architect design.

Ps what type of cooler?

Ahh well spotted...wouldnt want to end up with 2!!! No I just found the same one (I think) for less money on ebuyer.

Decided im wanting to build myself a new PC for gaming. What I have so far is below.. Can't decide what RAM to get though...any recommendations??
