just noticed something bizar: that GTX280 that's going in is already equipped with a waterblock by the factory and already overclocked.

and still, you add another GTX280 waterblock from XPSC. did you replaced the stock block with that one from XPSC, or is it a reserve gadget in case the winner would like to go SLI?

and will that 240 rad be sufficient for both a i7 proc and a gtx 280? but I did hear that those rads from that serie from XPSC perform rather good, read excellent, with low-rpm fans.

it breaks 4gb does it not so vista is the only option?

I think that may be a typo about the 2 waterblocks.

As for the rad coping, it will 'cope' but if the winner was to want to take advantage of the pa120.3 radiator grill in the roof then I would be williing to supply and fit one aswell at a discounted rate.

OMG no!

You can have 8Gb on XP x64. If you have it on XP32 it will show the full amount of RAM minus the graphics memory available because its memory register is ****e. This is also the problem with Vista 32bit also, Vista is many features short if you actually check its abilities. Being able to see source for it helps too

but it also means you then realise that the "improvements" stated by MS are so flawed why bother upgrading.

Given the above reasons I will NEVER install Vista because it is yet again another piece of unfinished crap from MS. The worse bit is until a beta of 7 comes out using the proper kernel not the overextended Vista kernel the masses wont realise the full potential. 7 has an awesome memory allocation but its very buggy still so it's gonna be Q2 at least.
