I just posted wondering about my case size but I figure I might as well just put the whole thing down and see what you reckon. Now bear in mind that this may not be getting built for a couple of months but I will adjust it accordingly to any new developments. Here we go...
To add to that, one area I am particulalry interested in is mobo suggestions, eg is it worth spending the extra money and getting a 680i? or are there some around for a similar price to the P5N? Actually was just looking around and once place said the P5N was 650i and another said 680i??? which is it?
