Tomorrow my new CPU will finally arrive Smile

I cant wait to get it lol...

AthlonXP 2600, also additional 256MB of RAM (believe it or not, I have only 256), new case from Chieftec (BX01 black), set of silent case fans (4x 80. 2x 92), supersilent PSU (Fortron 350W with 120mm inside fan), new CPU cooler (Thermaltake Volcano 11+), new mobo chipset and gfx coolers (both noiseless Zalman products) and some accessories (rounded cables etc) Very Happy

Yeah I am trying to make silent PC. All of my new coolers shouldnt do more noise than 22dB Smile

. Next step (in far far future) is side window for my chieftec and some light effects... I want LeeBe-style UFO too hehe

Sad part is price for all this Crying or Very sad

I have to slap myself everyday as punishment for spending so much money on these toys. Crying or Very sad

But you know, time from time, you have to spend some money for something else than bills if u want to keep your sanity... Smile

Wow cool mobo Shocked

u have IDE, RAID and SATA all onboard... thats cool, coz I just had to buy additinal RAID IDE to connect all my IDE devices.... but you may be able to connect more than 10 harddrives, I think you can hook more than one drive on each SATA channel, maybe 5 or 7? Not sure, lol u can have 20+ harddrives... Hey what whould happen if u had more drives than there is available letters? What would be after Z Confused

Lol Matrix crash, end of universe.

Gigabyte is cool, I like them and never had probs with them (knock, knock, knock). Also that DualBIOS feature is super. I have older 7VAX right now...

BTW are 400MHz Athlons already in UK stores? I didnt see any here yet...

I got the GA-7N400 pro2 board........seems ok, dunno what the differance is between this and yours Lee.

Good for you Roba.............we all need a treat once in a while Wink

BTW we have the 3200+ (400Mhz) amd over here in blighty for some time, but it is still way to pricey...........I got the 2800+(333Mhz)
