The building bit is easy, these days.

Just need to know what bits to get that don't conflict and what OS it'll work with.

But I'm sure there's more to it than that. :D

I've found Scan.co.uk are pretty usefull for help and prices.

Well, if anyone is in the process, I will have an extra CPU Heatsink/fan here shortly. I ordered one from one company and they said that my shipping adress couldn't be verified and it would cancel in 3 days if I did nothing about it, so I went ahead and ordered the same thing from another company I deal with. Now I recieved an email from the first company today saying they cleared up my shipping adress issue and now the cooler is on the way. So now I have two heatsink/fans on the way and I only need one of them. So if anyone needs one, I will have one for sale here by next week. By the way, it's the Zerotherm Nirvana 120mm. I even ordered a new tube of thermal compound with it.

Here's a link to the nirvana on zerotherms site. Compatability is: Intel Socket-T (LGA775), and AMD Socket 939 / 940 / AM2.

30 pounds will get ya the Zerotherm Nirvana 120mm and the OZC Freeze thermal compound I ordered along with it. I am very pleased with the Freeze results. Unlike the other silver based compounds this one is not, so there is no so called "break in period".
