GTR35, he could probably ship to South Africa . shipping on a videocard shouldn't be that much even to South Africa...

@BigDK
anytime my friend, i usually don't go out of my way for members that live over in Europe (only because i'm not very familiar with international shipping/policies/procedures), but since we share a common interest/enthusiasm for the "high-end" components, i would be more than happy to help you find that "rare" part if i can over here. have a good one.

yeah, the newer 850w by OCZ just came out about a month or so ago, we here in the U.S. are just now getting them in and they are available for purchase. i haven't looked over in the UK in terms of availability, but it's definitely an option i would consider as it's CHEAPER (at least here in the U.S. it is) than the Enermax Galaxy series equivalent and other high end 850w+ PSUs. if the efficiency of the 700w little brother that i used for 2 months is any indication of the 850w GameXStream, i would highly recommend it to ANYONE looking for a reliable high-end PSU.
@GTR35
sorry, i live in the U.S., i've never shipped anything to South Africa before, but at the very least i wanted to put the offer out there for your consideration if you're interested. no worries, it would more than likely be a better decision for you to buy something from your home country, with all things considered with duty fees/taxes/import-export/other possible complications, it would be in YOUR best interest to just save up and purchase a good card there in South Africa~ :)
happy holidays to you all~

well it only held its record for a massive 18 days, then kingston released it 1250mhz modules, but the water cooling is still a nice feature, read a review here.

Sam its not as quite as the Lian Li of course but is still pretty quite . the 200mm fan on top is very quite and the 2 front 120mm fans are the ones you here some but not over bearing at all .i have them set on med. on high there to loud. the back and side fans you don't here at all.
and the Opteron 185 is blazing fast . i can def tell a difference between the Opteron 175 and this one!!

I built a computer for a friend using the case you are getting. It's a real nice case, but if you put your hands inside while the fans are running watch out for the big top fan. It's very easy to get your hands into it and it is a real knuckle remover. I am speaking from experience here.

LOL. Thanks for the advice. I dont think I will be sticking my hand in any fans too soon. Are the fans cheap?

Looking for a good, fast hard drive. Any suggestions on brand and specs to look for?
150GB WD Raptor (SATA of course), 2 in RAID would be even better. Then get a large WD or other good model for storage.

Thanks man. I've heard of the Raptor. Heard it was good for fast windows loading. Is that true?

I forgot, The Raptors are 10,000 RPM and top of the line. Not exactly cheap, but you can't beat them for speed. At least the last time I checked no one had.

They do a lot more than load Windows fast. With your programing on the Raptor most everything will run faster. Test showed they're faster than some systems in RAID and in RAID they're awesome.
