So it's been a number of years since I updated my machine (about 8yrs!!!). That in mind I'm well chuffed with the new rigs speed and >10sec boot time! I should have done a build project posting for others to check out my options. I've gone with the mini ITX form factor, a Bitfenix case and a...

I myself have an H100i waiting to be installed into my Prodigy. I suggest you get one too :)

I would tend to agree with those sentiments. I have a Prodigy case that I'm about to build and the side panel has mesh air vent for the graphics card. A simple side-suck-in|blow-out-back solution would be best rather than dissipating heat into the case. I'll try not to think of any innuendo in...

What about the noise difference between the cards? One impeller against three fans that dont have to work as hard?

I thought I'd update the thread here. My replacement handles arrived and now I am a happy chappy :D I'm quite pleased I didnt have to return the whole case.

I'd suggest a browse on the graphics section of the forums ;) Have a think about requirements other than the GPU such as noise. Some cards can whack out the decibels as well as the FPS ;)

I think there are 49 tubes. The reason I love corsair is that not only were they privateers working for the King of France, they now earn a little extra on the side with goods aimed at putting the middle classes in their place - awfully strapped for cash by the end of a purchase!

oh good news xbournex! I have already sent a mail today but I shall follow up with the paperwork specifics above :)

So today was happy days, my BitFenix arrived! All was well and I started to install a replacement 140mm fan when I noticed some broken shards of plastic at the bottom of the case... I though insignificant at first but I decided to check all the fixtures for to see where the plastic broke off...

noted:) I knew the gfx was overkill at that price. Around £250 for a card would be more reasonable - i was looking at the Gigabyte ATi Radeon HD 7950 Windforce for example. Memory - I'll check it out. Is there any preferred option for this board? SSD - i will stick with that choice...

The memory I just guessed at based on someone else's build too. I haven't had a chance to research that area yet...

So here's what I've come up with so far: YOUR BASKET 1 x MSI HD 7970 Lightning BOOSTED Edition 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card **OcUK Exclusive** with FREE FARCRY3, Hitman Absolution, Sleeping Dogs & 20% off MOH Warfighter PC Games £379.99 1 x Samsung 256GB SSD 840 PRO SATA 6Gb/s...

Is there any reason you went with the low profile sticks? From the pictures it would appear there is plenty of space... I'm thinking of an incredibly similar build. I must just copy yours minus all those disks and that PSU ;) With regards to the 230mm fan - how do you find the noise (and also...

I share some of the sentiments above w.r.t. having a single graphics card as I am not an enthusiast gamer (I got old!). I would want to run two monitors at 1920x1200 for example (gaming can be done on a single monitor). I wasn't considering an after-market sound-card until I was mentioned by...

I'm about to embark on a new build after many years on hiatus. I had started looking at the loveliness that is the BitFenix Prodigy case until I realised it was a mini ATX. Apart from the physical space limitations (I will not be too bothered by that) are there any major disadvantages to...

Will take a look. p.s. I usually try to avoid the posting-without-searching faux pas but it turns out the volumes of messages are huge so I thought I'd test the waters :)

Am I getitng old, lazy and way to snobby when I think that Fortnum & Mason hampers might do for a couple of family member Xmas presents?! oh dear.

Oh, case needed also! Quiet and not obscene looking (if I can use my old black widow that would be nice but I feelIi need to use 120mm fans so it may be sold off)

Spec me a system worthy of... (for some reason the dormant geek thought of "Build(!) me an army worthy of Mordor") for the lazy ex-enthusiast. It's been many years since my last build and my machine has given up the ghost (think single core and a sublime Coolermaster 'black widow' case of...

I'll take a look at the Lian Li's I think. The Silverstone’s I'm not so keen on from what I can see. THe Raven looks like a Honda Civic, so that’s a big no no. The Fortress is just too expensively ugly for my needs. One thing I am sure of is not going for a full tower. I don’t have that much...
