I wouldn't go with that case, I think it looks really bad, that is just my opinion though. I was looking around www.newegg.com last night at cases and they have some nice ones for low prices.

you haven't listed the prices or where you are getting the goods
Cant find detailed spec on the psu, but you should look into it more carefully. read psu101 for better suggestions

specs look ok, but without further links its hard to see if your getting ripped of. I imagine you should be able to reorder your budget to fit in a 3700, or 3800. But more data needed

The pricing would be too high!

Hi everybody

I would just like to answer the two questions that I saw:

1. I'm not listing any prices, because I come from Denmark and the prices are completely different here. For example the new 7800 GTX. In US, that's about 500$, in Denmark it's minimum 700$. So, the prices would be way too high if I had to write the danish. But I know a lot about parts, and have researched for long, and know that I'm not getting ripped off.

2. The PSU is a very old one, from my old machine, so I don't know where to get any more detailed information on it. It has always performed extremely well. I just want to know if you think that a 400W can pull a setup like this.

Have you considered buying from the US? You can do that and even with shipping, you would save loads. Just a thought.

If you have a pretty big budget, you can try the Alienware Aurora, it is heaps good actually, heard excellent reviews and superb at multi tasking, the only downside is the price, like all things, it is abit harsh to be honest

INternational Shipping, yes... have tried!

Hi...

Just an answer to a question:

Yes I have tried buying from the US. Searched for a month now, and the only two options I really considered was ComputersETC and Monarch Computer Systems. But Monarch has recently discontinued international shipping, and ComputersETC does not have the parts I'm looking for. Anyway, if you know a good US company with low prices, who ships international I will be all listening, but believe me... I have tried finding it!

And, does anybody know if 400W is enough power for this setup?

id go with at least a 450, since some video cards require 450 i think.

And i would go with a different case

I'll just pretend I know what im talking about and tell you what everone else says.

Its not just the watts, It the rails in the power supply too, Try taking a look in the pinning topic under the PSU section to give you a better idea.

I would try finding a model number somewhere, and then shearching them modeal number in the web somewhere, you can prabally find more info about it.

i would have to say they same thing about a bigger PSU get atleast a 450 for that set up, also if you plan to do ANY overclocking with it then get bigger then 450.

550 Watt it is!

Hi everybody...

Thank you for all your advice... i have decided to buy a Q-Tec 550W Dual Fan Gold PSU. It's very cheap, and has good reviews. So, it should do...

Keep the advice and suggestions coming... =D

Missing?

So, what say you?
Is anything missing in my setup?
By the way, I heard something about PCI-Express having special power cables. Something I need to buy seperately? Or will it be with my mobo/gfx-card when I buy it retail?
