Here is my sys I'm building

Abit KT7 mobo
Duron 700@900 for the moment
ThermoEngine V60-4210 black version + stock fan(5000rpm) HSF + Arctic silver 2
M-Tec ram(cheap) 128Mb cas 3
Generic mid tower case + 2 YS-Tech 80mm fans
Voodoo 5 5500 PCI
Generic sound card

I'm still waiting for the 30Gig IBM Deskstar and the Philips 8 4 32 CD-RW
The first part cost me 350 pounds(UK)=$500.
I know it might be a lot for US but remember I'm in UK the country of the rip off.
The Voodoo is not good I know but the purpose of this system is to be cheap cos i'm a student.
Idle temp 35C with sys temp of 23C @900 do U think it's too high. Thanx in advance guys.

Actually thinking about it I could use my very old 428Mb seagate drive from my 486 comp.It used to have win 3.11 but I think it needs formating.
Thanx OpenFriday u gave me a very nice idea.

I thought so myself I think the stock fan on my thermoengine doesn't cut the crap it pushes just 19cfm.I'll have to put a 60mm YS-tech 60mm which pushes 26cfm.And also when my case is open the cpu temp drops @ 30 and sys temp @ 18.
