Re: Building my own PC
 Why the strategically placed ruler?
Not trying to emphasise the size of your components are you?? 
Like the stripped floorboards

Exactly! I can't believe the size of that case As for the box the GPU came in.....thats huge as well. The GPU itself is very heavy

Re: Building my own PC
OS will be sorted over the weekend.
Don't forget to visit the Asus site for newer drivers for the board and GPU.
Note: The GPU uses 2 drivers .... the Geforce 6800 ones and the Asus Advanced ones. The Advanced ones allow the overclocking and the Asus SmartDoctor to work properly. If you update the Geforce drivers, you must either reinstall the Asus Enhanced ones or install new Asus enhanced ones. It doesn't stop the card from working, but Asus have obviously enhanced some of the features.

Doh! The case has a big box of bits and pieces tucked away in one of the power supply bays
