A friend offered to trade me a brand new boxed koolance case for my used Samsung 700nf, 8500 retail 64mb, 2x256 crucial pc2100, and maybe a little cash. Is this a good trade? What amount of "little cash" would make this deal pretty good if not even?
Also, how are the koolance cases? I'm not sure what waterblock to use if I did get it but I was thinking about the swiftech mcw5000. Will this setup cool better and or be quieter than my current system which has 4 80mm svc 32cfm case fans and a YS tech 48cfm on an Alpha 8045?
Edit: Just got offered 500 bucks for these used parts:
Athlon xp1600+
2x256 crucial ddr
MSI K7T-266 Pro2
Radeon 8500
Samsung 700nf
Antec sx1030b (no power supply)
Creative SB Live! 4.1 mp3+
Linksys LNE100TX
Which is the better deal?
