Hi Cemeterygates

It looks like a nice system. Dare we ask how much you paid?

Also, I see you went with the 'retro chic' floppy disc drive, hehe I'm curious why?

Have fun on Saturday!

Kind regards

Still got one in mine, "just in case". Was originally there merely for the wife's coursework for her IT course, which was all on floppy. Now, it's just in case. And hasn't been touched for 6 months
But more to the point - it's filling a hole until I can find the blanking plates for my case Other hole is occupied with a multi card reader/bluetooth receiver

Nice system btw, should run rather nippily

Your system screams out intelligent choices. About the only thing I would have chosen differently if really pushed to choose are maybe the HDs but theres nothing really in it.

I think you're going to like the uGuru alot, also out of interest what thermal compound are you going with and will you bother lapping at all? Id love to see some before and after pics of the Tuniq if you do.

Anyway, grats and great choice of system spec.

Arctic Silver thermal grease ftw.

Using something like nlite will not only allow you to slipstream Service packs in but also drivers thus being able to bin the floppy and use the latest drivers from the start
