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

    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


    Pics and logs to follow :pac:

    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 :rolleyes:

    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. :pac:
