Hi all,
I'm starting to think about building a new computer and would be interested to know if anyone has any input on the components I'm considering. This is all pretty vague at the moment, I've not settled on anything, but here's where I'm going with so far:
I haven't yet sussed out whether I can use my old PSU, what case to buy (easy to cool and quiet will be pluses, not too bothered about appearance) nor what heatsink/fans - they're all of secondary importance really.
Any comments, suggestions?
