You're a champ! That Seasonic tip is perfect! Noctua - Yup, all the way. Have them in my gaming rig :-)

Thank you - That is exactly the kind of answers I'm looking for. You stopped a mistake (because of course I don't want just 2 cores - in this time and age - my bad) - and gave alternatives. And even gave me some other MB's to look into. So while I'm still a long way from the goal - Thanks a lot!

My old "server" has run for a decade! - It's time for a new one. And I need some advice/pointers with regards to parts - It's a jungle out there... Budget is not a concern - But I prefer to not go absolute top tier but instead juuust below (diminishing returns and all that) Not sure if it...

Been shopping around for my components the last couple of days. The MB : GA-EG45M-UD2H and the G.Skill is nowhere to be found :-( (FWIW : I live in Denmark) The Corsair HX450W isn't easy to come by either - Only found one place who has it, but at a price I definatly don't like (they even...

I've decided to add a bit of "bling" as well. The fans of my old Antec 1080 case are in need of replacement as they are noisy as h... So noisy that I've in fact disconnected all of them atm - The case runs hot, but it runs, with just the (stock!) CPU cooler - Which actually is quite...

Thanks WR2 you're a champ. I'll go with the G45 based on your asurement of 1600*1200 DVI support. I'll see if I can pesuade any of my local MB pushers to get hold of the GA-EG45M-UD2H for me (in a reasonable timeframe), else I'll just get the GA-EG45M-DS2H. For RAM, I'm a little worried...

I forgot : No I havent picked any RAM yet. Bit clueless there as well. AFAIK it won't matter a great deal anyhow, as the differences are usually in the 2-3% range anyhow. And this isnt a "performance" box, so shouldnt matter greatly. I'll probably pick 2*2GB DDR 800 of some brand...

I would actually prefer to go for the G45 chipset (I don't quite trust nVidia chipsets - Didn't they have some issues in the past?) But for the life of me I simply can't dig up any (detailed) resolution specs of the various Intel GMA's. I can with nVidea's chipsets.. The little bits I *have*...

Many many hours of research later.... HD : Samsung SpinPoint F1 Desktop Class HD103UJ 1TB Theres simply no competition here it seems. Loew noise, Low power use, and pretty damn fast as well + tons of room (and all that and it's still decently priced) MB : Gigabyte GA-E7AUM-DS2H That was...

Been doing a bit more research PSU : Corsair HX450W Pretty hard to come by a decent review of this one, as it's a EU/Asia model only (I'm guessing that's why) But I expect it to be pretty much inline with the Corsair HX520W & HX620W Any huge difference would be surpricing CPU Cooler ...

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Intel is however still my preference for CPU (as listed) Did a (real quick) google search and found the following Quote source 80$ diff is not gonna sway me - I'm sticking with Intel as my preference. Besides those prices are old : i7 920 for $289.99 on...

APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Start April BUDGET RANGE: None, but not willing to pay the stupid tax for a 10% improvement (not on this box anyhow :-) ) SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Webserver (with SQL) PARTS NOT REQUIRED: It's a remote accesed box, so no need for keyboard, mouse...

@MonstrousM I only plan to play on one monitor (ie. no dual gaming setup - although there are ways to fool the games into thinking you have a 3200*1200 monitor - and much more :P ) The other monitor is for mainly for chat/IRC notes browsing whatever - while playing. And the 66% increase (yes...

Yes the 204 is what I've settled on sofar Anything that would make the 206 the better choice?
