    yeah drop vista 64 and get win7 RC1 instead. save you about £80-90.

    The noctua isnt the best CPU cooler although it is very quiet and is very good. TITAN fenrir is better but noisy.

    hmm looking at the RAM how much is it ???

    i see you opted for low latency when in reality latencies make very little difference in performance on an intel platform (used to on old athlon skt 939 and below, not sure on phenom)

    ive ran benchamrks on my i7 machine with 8-8-8-20 and 9-9-9-24 and makes no recordable difference.

    Bindi Edit: Why don't you keep a lid on your negative sarcasm?

    Oh, it'll fit, if it doesn't cut a hole in the side of your case.


    EDIT: Oh, PS: It'll fit, it's built to fit in average cases, and the P193 is bound to be built to the average width.

    Looks sweet.

    I think the NH-U12P cooler will fit, it easily fits in my Lian-Li even though it does look massive.

    +1 Fits in mine but be aware - it is a real bitch to fit the fans on it in tight spaces. Near-as-makes no difference silent, though.
