Hmm, I sense a group buy?

12Lee, who runs Ihavetohave.it, may be able to cut us a deal as he was looking at this...

building it at the moment, just wating for courier to deliver RAM have everything else, so far very nice, well built and very light in weight, acrylic blue front is nice.

not a lot of space but ...... have been told OTR don't go higher than a p4 2.4 for cooling purposes, the "heat pipe" ia an amazing idea.

keep you all posted.........

where's the courier .....................nnnneeeeeeeedddd rrrrrraaaaaammmmmm

P4 with the 533FSB run cooler than the old 400FSB. which P4 are you using?

i was tempted to get the SV24 and run the VIA C3 CPU. gonna use it as a cheapo "lifestyle" PC .

I am not surprised that it get's hot when it is the size of a biscuit tin. Lovely design etc, but wouldn't place any bets on the various components longevities...

Cheers,

Nick

The motherboard is part of the system Si. It is very cut down, at least size-wize to fit into the chassis properly.

Cheers,

Ooops, edited. Gemma's price is £214.23 ex VAT. and shipping's £8.50+VAT.

We could shave a little bit off this, but I'm not sure if it's enough to make it worthwhile for y'all.

Let's take quantities and I'll see what can be done.
