Basic Micro ATX PC

Looks OK i guess... if you plan to run Linux on that rig you are best with an nVidia card, if not then ATi will suffice .

As for thermal compound, I'm not sure how the Akasa stuff performs - try to get some Arctic Silver 5.

Also, you want to shop around a bit. Check Scan, Dabs.com, Komplett, and Ebuyer to compare prices .

Ok, Thanks.
- I did think about the gcard in relation to linux, and that may still swing the choice, but ive never yet used linux, and i doubt i will on this PC.

Will get some AS5, thats just all scan has, so i stuck it in pro-tem, just so i dotforget altogether. (i finally used up all my AS3 last w/end)

And yes, your right, i need to go round a check other places for prices, which would know £30/45 or so off. (all the prices are from scan atm)

Also i was thinking about PSUs.
- I want this system to be uber quiet, and im a little worryed as there seem to be no 'quiet' branded Micro atx psu's, and non of these size cases seam to fit a fullATX PSU like the nexus ones, or whatever
