<DIV>I have the AMD Athlon 6000 (dual core CPU). 2gb of Ram (512Mb is used by the video GPU).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I had real trouble finding the power supply I wanted, and as I wanted to get on and build the PC this weekend I ended up with something from PBtech in Wellington that had a big slow fan. It is actually quite quiet (i'll check the brand tonight). The CPU fan on the other hand is running full bore and is quite loud.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I bought a Silverstone LC10m case as I plan for this to be a combined BE/FE in the lounge - but I have to sort out how to get the CPU fan speed control working first.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Mostly it was painless build. Only things left to sort out on the hardware side are:</DIV>
<DIV>getting the imon VFD to work</DIV>
<DIV>getting the imon remote set up</DIV>
<DIV>sorting out lm-sensors so I can easily check the various temperatures and then set up fan speed control</DIV>
