Just off the phone with the nice chaps at DHL, and my order from Hardwareversand.de should be delivered today.

Intel E8400
Asus P5Q-E
8GB OCZ PC8500 Platinum
Powercolor HD4870 1GB
Maxtor DiamondMax 22 32MB 500GB
LG SATA DVD Drive
Noctua NH-U12P
Thermalright HR-03 Plus
2X Scythe S-Flex 1600rpm 120mm
NesteQ EECS 700 Watt
Antec 900
BenQ G2400WD, 24''

Depending on the quality of the onbard P5Q-E's onboard audio and how much space the HR-03 takes up, I may add my X-FI gamer sound card from my old rig.

Also recieved my Logitech G11 keyboard and D-Link N 650 PCI wireless card from Dabs earlier in the week, and a Razer Copperhead mouse from Medusa.

Unfortunatly, the mouse came in green instead of blue and they wont be getting any more blue in stock, so I ordered another from ebay and I'm selling the green one to a mate.

So the OC plan is to get the E8400 to at least 4.0GHz and to push the 4870 as far as it can go with HR-03.

The old Pc, Shiva, may have her guts transfered to a sound insulated MATX case with 2 TB HDD's for use as a file server / HTPC.

Shiva:
AMD X2 4200+
Abit NF-M2s
2GB Corsair PC5300
XFX 7900GS
320GB Seagate HDD
Hiper Type-R 520watt
Point of View Turbine case
Ben-Q 19'' monitor

Stuff arrived yesterday and I dug in.

Firstly, I was sent a Powercolor HD4870 PCS+ instead of the standard HD4870 1GB , which was just as well, since the HR-03 Plus doesn't fit the 4xxx series. Turns out I needed the HR-03 GT

The case, as I'm sure most of you are aware of, is a thing of beauty with a bit of a flawed layout. Something tells me I'll need to do a bit of dremeling to provide better cable managment, and while I'm doing that I may paint the inside black and do some cable shortening/lengthening.

I got everything installed last night, but didn't power it up yet so I'm not sure if it will even post yet.

Updates and pics later.
