[QUOTE="PJ, post: 32767, member: 10411"] I'm a fellow Aussie (Melbourne). Thought I'd share my shopping list: ASUS A8N CSM (6150 / 430 nVidia chipset) Athlon 64 3000+ or 3200+, either will be fine from what I've read Silverstone LC16-M, best price I've found is [url]http://www.hboutlet.com.au[/url] in Sydney, might want to have a look there for your case if you haven't already I too am having trouble finding Seasonic PSU's down here. PC Case Gear sells them, but not the 330W. They've got the 430W but that's unneeded/wanted heat/noise. [url]http://www.pccasegear.com[/url] I'm going with 1GB ram, seems to be a popular choice although I'm sure people will say it's not required. The Samsumg spinpoints are my choice too, 200/250 for data, and an 80 for the OS and apps. Still haven't decided on a DVD yet, the NEC's are supposed to be quiet (but getting noisier in newer versions), the BenQ drives are supposed to be quiet too but they're not the easiest to find, haven't heard anything about the LG drives. I might look into a LightScribe enabled drive LG do those too. I've already got a Fusion Lite but I'm thinking of replacing it with a Terratec Cinergy 2400i DT, if/when I can find one over here. Might have to get one sent to friends in the UK and get them to mail it over :? [/QUOTE]
