nearly ready to build my rig

[Mark R]

Case: Thermaltake Shark VA7000SWA
CPU: E6600 *
MB: Asus P5B-Deluxe *
RAM: Geil PC2-6400 2GB *
HSF: Tuniq tower 120
Sound: X-fi gamer
Graphics: Gainward GF 8800GTX
HD 1: Seagate 500 GB (7200.10)
HD 2: Fujitsu 73 GB (MAX 3073) **
HD controller: LSI 4-port PCI-card **


OS: XP MCE (waiting for Still Vista Upgrade - hopefully, will get sometime in April)

* - These come as a bundle - so it will be difficult and a lot more expensive to change these

** - Subject to finding these at a bargain price (helpful having a little brother who works as at a distributor to server builders)

Any reason for getting the gamer version of the X-fi? XRam doesnt make a blind bit of difference!!

What Kind of PSU are you getting? because the 8800 requires 26 amps @ 12V minimum which a lot of 500W and under PSU's don't have, I had to cancel and re order from newegg when i built my computer because I overlooked this fact.
