it's been several years since i last build a rig and this is what i bought this time:
CPU - E8400
Mobo - Asus P5q pro
Mem - G.Skill 4GB DDR2900 PI Black
GPU - club3d 4850 oc edition
HDD - WD5000AAKS*2 + WD3200AAKS
PSU - VX450W
Case - Antec P180
the hdd and rear fan are Yate Loon 120mm, the front fan is Scythe Slip Stream that came with the HSF.
i removed the rear grill and closed with tape most of the holes
the rig will be updated in two days with a perc 5/i controller and 4 samsung F1 tera drives
i'm also working on an 6A19 so i can move the rig into it, will be havyly moded and silenced with sonex foam and other stuff
old P180 with new parts
