Thanx Paul
That was one of the pictures that I was looking at while trying to get an
idea of the distance. I have the smaller brother of the PCV2000, the PCV1000
and the 7000 only just fits in with less than a mil to spare. I suppose I
could get into case modding, but I'd rather not on a 200 quid case.
One thing that you did bring up of interest is the adpater kit for the 7000
on the LGA775, I had not come across one of those in my travels. All I have
to do is find a UK suplier.
Thanx for the info
