    Already got my ms natural 4000 keyboard.

    And comfort mouse 3000 AND Dell 24" lcd. Oh yea, and my thermaltake shark case.

    What else? 640gb samsung internal drive, pioneer dvd burner, (the flashy retail version), and a 1.44mb floppy drive.

    Actually, it helped me just a short while ago tonight to upgrade the bios on the board to the latest version so that my new cpu was fully supported. Before it was just running at 1.6ghz, now it's at full speed @ 3.2ghz and the power saving stuff is fully working now too.

    Plus it was just still in the case, I just leave it. And I'm an old school guy with a mountain of stuff still on floppy disk.

    And that's one thing I love about this board, it has the option in the bios for all floppy types, other boards typically just have the 3.5" 1.44mb option, this one has both 3.5 and 5.25" drive options with both high and low densities.

    Default My Baby!

    Well I got my Rudd money last Wednesday, and with some extra savings I went along and picked up all this:



    Core 2 Duo E8500 (3.16GHz)
    Asus P5Q3 mobo
    WD 1TB HDD
    Kingston 6GB RAM
    Gigabyte NVidia GTX260 core 216 Graphics card (yum - came with Farcry 2 for free )
    Antec Nine Hundred Two Case
    Antec Earthwatts 750W PSU
    2 SONY DVD drives
    Sony internal card reader
    Logitech MX550 Revolution Keyboard/Mouse Combo(Sitting above the antec box, but cut out of pic)

    Other
    Sanyo 32" LCDTV for my monitor (got it in March)
    Logitech X530 5.1 Speakers (from ages ago)


    So i built it myself - pretty happy with my work, my cable management was quite neat etc. had problems with it as the pc would randomly freeze or reboot with more than one stick of ram plugged in - turns out the motherboard wasnt delivering anough voltage to the ram, so i manually set the voltage in the BIOS and voila, all good

    So this a pic of my setup:



    and a quick vid of my room as it looks now:

    but yeah, id prefer a card reader over a floppy drive, and only the top three drive bays were 100% free - the bottom six bays (yeah this case has 9 drive bays ) are covered by intake cooling fans, and id rather keep them in

    i have the floppy drive from my old pc, so if i REALLY need to (or my card reader dies) i can plug it in
