Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme CPU Cooler (Not ordered yet; will be ordering when I decide to OC high [as in 3.6+, not like I am OCing while high, I think ])

So I should be set for a good while, yeah?


Oh, and also, after I throw it all together, throw out some reminders of what I need to do with fresh build other than the obvious. Things like upgrade the BIOS and whatnot..

I just bought a Thermaltake case, the M9, and it's pretty tight for what I paid for it ($70 something dollars). I'm sure you'll like the one you purchased.
I bought the same HDD you did too, the 500GB one, I've heard a lot of good things about it.

I can't wait to throw all my stuff together tomorrow! hehehe

[monagi]

Yeah, I figured that would happen, so I mentioned plus some

 

[g3kk0]

haha, those were my first thoughts too. xD

Blarg, case got backordered. May cancel and order a different one...

May look for a Lian Li case...

Haha yeah, it will. In fact, I am planning on adding some sleek LEDs to it eventually to match my Eclipse II

Went ahead and ordered the same case from ClubIT. The one I had originally ordered from Micro Center got backordered for a good while. So I should be getting it 5/6 or 5/7. What a pain, will have all my parts before I have something to put them in.
