    Hi all,

    Just back form 4 months travelling & man you go away for 4 months & come back & you need to re-learn every thing.

    Anyaways, I'm building a new system, mainly for GRAPHICS work but it would be nice if I could play DOOM etc.

    Does this setup allow me to play the new games?

    And can anyone recommend a VERY QUITE case, fan, powersupply system (I don't want to go water cooled)?

    All of that looks fine, try the Antec Sonata case on Elara for a nice quiet case. Comes with a good 380W PSU which is more than enough for that system.

    Perhaps look at NEC and Liteon as alternatives. I just bought myself a Liteon (Have no user experience with it, just had reasonable reviews)but it's pretty much a toss up between it and the NEC. Both have slightly better reviews than the MSI......

    If your doing alot of graphics work it would be helpfull to have a little more ram, 1Gb maybe.

    Are you actualy going to use a floppy drive? I know its only €15 but its taking up drive space and a power supply conection. Just wondering if you need it is all.

    Might bring you to a decent Case.

    Giblet, I'll be sticking 3 harddrive in to this + 2 optical drives - do you think I'll have enough power with 380w?

    Cheers
