i know nobody cares anymore but bios updates are still floppy dependant unless you want to create a boot cd for every bios.

Looks fine. As long as you trust that PSU ;p

You should have gone with Windows XP x64 Pro but good build nonetheless

Don't forget keyboard and probably 1 extra fan. Otherwise very good for the price.

I have an A8N-SLI, and I update my BIOS with with the ASUS update utility.
No floppy needed, and has not failed yet.

Not true with that motherboard it has ASUS EZFlash. A windows program that will do it. I have the premium of that board and I have done it a few times, easy as pie.
I still have a floppy though for other things.



EDIT- DAMN you just beat me black

:thumbsup:

the logitech is a wireless mouse/keyboard set. there are 2 120mmfans in the case with no space for more.

edit: also it's a fortron(FSP) power supply and i always had the notion those were very good. maybe not as good as PC&P but still up there.

 

[Rommels]

Yeah, I got a FSP too. Very nice.
