RE: [Blog] New Computer
Bought the Cooler Master Centurion T-05 Case. Comes with a 460W power supply. Should be plenty of power for this system. And it has much better ventilation than my old box, keeps the inside cool. Problem is that my system is sort of loud.

Updated 1st post.

Unfortunately, in Canberra, they might not respect the discount since there isn't an MSY branch in Canberra.
Might be useful if you have an Officeworks branch close by.

Thanks, but I didn't see this until now, when I've already bought the case.

The CPU fan is definitely one of the loud ones. Could also be the back case fan or the PSU fan. I should unplug some of these fans to see how much difference it makes (thus also determine which ones are the loud ones).

Anyway, pretty easily overclocked to 2.53GHz (15% overclock). Can go a bit higher, but I can't be stuffed. Some people have claimed to be able to overclock this CPU to almost 3GHz, but that's using "suicide volts", like 1.65 or something. Don't want to do that, not like I can anyway with this fan. (Phenom isn't as good at overclocking as Core2 quads).

Funny enough, Overclocking was once AMD's forte.
