Yes it will fit. However i hope your not going to use the psu that comes in that case to run your conroe on.

I personally would have got a bit better case too. I bought the Silver Coolermaster Centurion 5 with a side window for about £60 with the packing and it's a lovely case.

As Mac said, for the love of God, get a decent PSU.

Hi,

Yea i was thinking about getting that silver coolmaster case for £70 but unsure yet, and i have my bought a 650wat powersupply so if i was to get that case i wouldnt be using that power supply that comes with it.

[mac124]

What psu is it? There are \"650 watt\" :wink: psu's and there are 650watt psu's

As an example..

600watt psu http://www.aria.co.uk/ProductInfoComm.asp?ID=23095 << Wouldn't let it anywhere near my gaming rig and would think twice about it near any of my pc's. :shock:

600 watt psu http://www.aria.co.uk/ProductInfoComm.asp?ID=24287 << I have one of these. Im quite happy to have it run my gaming rig and would recommend to anyone.

Im thinking of gettign water cooling aswell but the only problem i fear is that there might not be enough room for it all :S

What do you think?

[mac124]

Looking good, any reason you have gone for 4x 512 as apposed to 2x 1gb?

[Micky007]

i thought having 4 512mb dual is better isnt it?

[mac124]

Dunno what the deal with intel is, only owned 1 intel setup and i have only had that about a week :shock: , but i was always under the impretion 2 sticks perform better than 4 least they do on amd setups??

Anyone more experienced in intel setups care to shed any light on this?

[Micky007]

Hmmm.... but i couldnt find any 1GB DDR2 sticks with the freq 800

So do you think if i add a water cooling system it would all fit?

[mac124]

Seen water cooling fitted in a shuttle so yes it should fit.

*goes to find some ddr2 800mhz mem*

http://www.aria.co.uk/ProductInfoComm.asp?ID=23920 hmm not in stock though


http://www.aria.co.uk/specials.asp?productid=24548 in stock but quite a bit more expensive, ignore the ati bit its a marketing ploy ;)

[Micky007]

Great!

Thanks i think ill go with the first one when they have it in stock.

[samson]

I have water cooling...

It`s a very tight fit but i`m sure you can work around it.
