I have the AMD Athlon 6000 (dual core CPU). 2gb of Ram (512Mb is used by the video GPU).

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.

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.

Mostly it was painless build. Only things left to sort out on the hardware side are:
getting the imon VFD to work
getting the imon remote set up
sorting out lm-sensors so I can easily check the various temperatures and then set up fan speed control

What CPU and RAM have you put in that board? I'm looking at a new frontend
based on it (in fact it has enough PCI slots & SATA to replace my 
backend/server which at 6 years old needs an update) and need to extract a
digit before the prices go up any more.

Since I'll be running the frontend diskless, any thoughts on PSU and case
as well then I'll have a pretty good idea of a complete system (I think I
can choose a DVD drive on my own!!)

Cheers
