[QUOTE="Allen1066, post: 61273, member: 182446"] Thanks for your interesting feedback. I was thinking of using the flower cooler that you linked to. I was thinking of trying it without the fan and if that doesn't keep it cool enough then I can always install it. My only worry about using a 7200 rpm hard drive is that it might put out more heat than a 5400 rpm. But this enclosure looks nice [url="http://www.quietpc.com/uk/harddrive.php#zm2hc2"]http://www.quietpc.com/uk/harddrive.php#zm2hc2[/url]. It would quieten and cool at the same time. I think the Sapphire Radeon 9550 will be fast enough for me. I'm not planning on using it to play games, but I liked the hardware mpeg decoder for DVD playback, and I'm on a tight budget too. I've just found that you can get a Athlon XP-M 2200+ 35w processor from here [url="http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=19-103-440&depa=1"]http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=19-103-440&depa=1[/url]. I have a friend in New York, so I may be calling on his services as I can't find a UK supplier of this chip. It looks amazing and should run really cool. For what I need it should also be powerful enough. [/QUOTE]
