Hi, first post here. I just ordered a brand new system based 100% on THG info, and would like some advice on anything to change or add before I confirm the order. The specs themselves are kinda decided, barring new info, but brands and such I'm not sure.
I didn't know exactly where to post this, so if this breaks etiquette please let me know.

Specs of order:
1 x Lian Li V2000
1 x Lian Li T4, Silver (temp control)
1 x Zalman CNPS7000B-Cu
1 x Arctic Silver 5
1 x AMD Athlon 64 3500+
1 x Gigabyte Radeon X800 XT - 256 MB
2 x Western Digital Raptor WD740GD - 74 Gb
2 x Thermaltake XRound UV SATA Cable - Transparent
1 x MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum Edition
1 x Linksys WMP54G
1 x Antec TrueControl 550PEC
1 x Corsair TWINX1024-3200XL
1 x Plextor PX-712SA
 
Everything looks great, I don't see anything you should change. Will be an incredible system, thats for sure

Thanks :) So, for example, the Gigabyte is a good implementation of the X800? I searched for a comparison of X800 cards, but couldn't find one.

The 6800GT from Nvidia will work better with that board if you can find one!
