I once ordered some stuff from jab-tech.com (in the US) and some stuff from scan on the same day and they both arrived on the same day, the jab-tech stuff about 2 hours before the scan stuff.

Fitted Celeron

and am installing XP Pro now to test everything, if it all works i will pull it out again tomorrow and change the cooling on the 4850, which when folk say runs hot are far from kidding, damn thing will burn you at idle

.

Hopefully Xeon will get here no later than Monday

.

So far no issues with anything

, cable management looks like it will be hell though

I was just about to post a "be patient" message, but there's no point.

Cable management is usually the bane of any build. PITFA for sure. I wrestled with an older, but perfectly good, non-modular Seasonic in my new rig - and the case is a smaller mid tower anyway - what a fahooking performance. I've got pix so I might do a post but I'll be changing case pretty soon.

Patience? Ha! I wish i had some patience, instead i had boredom, now i find myself thinking about how hard i could push that little Celeron, i dont mind if i mangle it if it can get a few laughs out of seeing what it can do.

I would find really helpful mate if you could throw up those cable tidy pics, there is room above the powersupply for all of the unused lengths its the ones connected up that look like a full cage of those mental looking crabs off the deadliest catch.

Will it go much over 3 GHz? MMH i think not usually celerons are bad silicon. Ofcourse you may get lucky.
You could also buy a waterblock and a few meters of tubing and run an open loop of tap water just for the kicks.

^ I gave up at the bottom. And it's without soundcard at that stage.

^ Home made fan holder with wing nut clamp that bites onto the outside main drive bay encasing

^ Emergency card reader went in after I gave up on fitting a fancy arse Akasa.

It does actually all match up, the light on the front fascia is a bit bollox that's all.
