[QUOTE="finrudd341, post: 244682, member: 68408"] I started this morning, and now I feel old...it's been so long since I built my last PC...where did all this SATA and stuff come from? :P The Zalman case has more bits to plug into the motherboard than I know what to do with, but so far so good - I may even get to power it on by tommorrow for the first time. Many people seem to have problems running the 7" display screen, so I plan to run it from the VGA socket on the motherboard, and use the EN8500GT for the TV instead...not sure if this will work.. The final spec is: Case: Zalman HD160-XT PLUS Case (Silver) x1 Motherboard: Asustek P5E-V HDMI L775 Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Processor Graphics: Asus EN8500GT Silent Magic 512MB PCIE TV-Tuner: Hauppauge WinTV PVR 350 x1 (Not got it yet - still not sure...) RAM: Kingston PC5300 DDR2 2048Mb x2 HDD: Western Digital WD10EACS 1000Gb x2 (Media only - RAID 1 - that's the plan, anyway) HDD: Western Digital WD1600JS 160GB x 1 (boot drive) DVD/CD-ROM: Samsung S203D 20x SATA Black DVD-RW x1 PSU: Zalman ZM600-HP Heatpipe Cooled 600W Modular PSU x1 Cooling: Zalman CNPS8500 LED CPU Fan x1 (got the CNPS9700 too - 20mm too tall, no refunds in Singapore...) :( Software: Windows XP Pro SP2 (bottled out on getting Vista) Media Software: MediaPortal - latest version The plan is to have it all plugged in tonight - if I can just work out those funny small cables, and where all the fans go! :D [/QUOTE]
