Lol, yep, can't give you the URL, but let's just say it's not hard to work out what it is. However, due to site restrictions on bandwidth the URL's often down, and registrations are often closed, so pick your moment and check back every few hours until you're signed up. It's worth it though, they have a lot of reliable torrents.

I missed that one, but my wife (well ex now) got conned with the winfixer scam. Stupid PITA spyware. After I uninstalled it, it kept installing itself back. Or trying at least. I ran about 5 different antispyware progs till I found XoftSpy which I now suggest to everyone.

I'm so excited. I can't wait. All my new stuff will be here today. It's funny though, because newegg used UPS, and zipzoomfly used fed ex. I ordered them at the same time, and now it's a race between competitors.

Yeah that'll be interesting, mind you where are those two places in relation to each other? Obviously it's not a fair test if the two companies are in completely different locations, especially in the USA.

Yeah I was gonna say it's out of stock. I'm typing from my new build now. Didn't have any problems until I installed the cool n quiet drivers, rebooted and went to BSOD. I almost thought I got out of it with NO problems... I uninstalled it, went to get the newest nforce4 AMD drivers (35MB), downloaded it to 84% then just stopped downloading. Went to Mirror 1, downloaded fine, when I try to install it, it says

I downloaded from 3 different places. It was v6.70, so I'm downloading v6.66 now because ASUS's drivers require v6.5 or higher to install otherwise there will be a file system crash. Geeze people.
I'm downloading 3dMark03 now, my last machine benched at around 1511, we'll see how this one goes.

Oh and about the case. You can pick any case you want really, just make sure it's ATX, and make sure if it doesn't come with a PSU that you get one.
Oh and I got the whole chipset drivers straightened out.(I think)
Edit: I'm just waiting on 3dMark now... 50%. I have a 1Mbit connection, so it's not slow, but not as fast as I wish.
Oh and that Raidmax case I pointed you at I know is a good case. It was my case before this one. It comes stock with 5 80mm fans. Never had a heating problem whatsoever.
Yeah, I downloaded the lastest Cool n Quiet drivers and didn't have another problem, what's neat is that the temp in my case before the drivers was around 103F, now it's staying around 97F... I didn't think I'd really make a difference.

It's really not very difficult, but it does take a keen eye for some stuff. Most all the instructions for building are in the motherboard instruction manual. It's really just screw in and plug in power plug in connection. The hardest part for me is getting that damn fan on the CPU.. 3 builds and it always gives me the most trouble.

Thanks,I was just wondering,I hav'nt enabled cool and quiet yet as I understood you needed a stock fan/sink to do so. This being a Thermaltake may not work correctly.Have you heard differently?

No, it's no good installed over an existing OS. I tried too. But it worked great on my new build. I had to specify whether or not I wanted a quick format of my 250billion bytes, I chose the slow one, took over an hour, but I wasn't going to shrug of any performance gains I could get.

Why thank you box. I am truly impressed with my machine too. I click restart, and it shuts down and is back up and loaded in less than a minute.
