OK, but get it overclocked (try using the Xtreme XT configurator).

Something a bit like this then? Had to drop the case back to the one I originally chose to reign in the price a bit again as it exceeded the previous configuration. Same goes for dropping the second hard drive that Xtreme XT configurator chucks in.

That's more like it, cooling is best in class with Max fans on the 430 case.

How come I can't load my saved configuration (the second one above) now? I was just about to look into ordering it as I've been busy with work the last couple of days, and the configuration number isn't working and I can't find the same configurator to rebuild it.

Best give sales a ring to see if they can retrieve it. They normally last a week.
