I've really gone and done it now!
You know when you start, the green monster just appears on the shoulder. Besides, someone I know very well is getting the vat back for me:
Corsair TX 650W ATX2.2 SLI Compliant Power Supply (Quality)
AMD Phenom II Quad Core 965 - 4Gb DDR3 1333Mhz - AMD 770 USB 3.0 Motherboard Gigabyte GA770T-USB3 (Fast)
Samsung EcoGreen F2 SATAII 1.5TB 32MB Cache Hard Drive <8.9ms (Very big)
Sapphire ATI Radeon 5770 Vapor-X 1024MB GDDR5 (Shiny)
That should keep me happy for a while and if my customers can have nice shiny new machines then so can I.

Yes, I reckon so too Therm. They changed the mobo on the bundle to ddr3 mem from ddr2 800, so it made sense. Can't wait for my bro to come over even more now. Nice cup of PG tips and a careful assembly job. Funny, but when I'm putting a system together for a customer, it's pretty straightforward but when it's my own I get a bit twitchy  |

Finished the build, now just need to tidy up all those cables from the PSU (should have gone modular methinks).
It's quick and very shiny.

And look at all that lovely elbow room inside the case..  I needed a crowbar on my last build.

I was spoilt for choice mate, so much room.
I'll never fill all those bays though.
