For now I bought a new case, MB, Chip and HSF.

Enlight 7237 Case, 300 watt PSU
Asus A7V133 Motherboard, with raid.
Duron 750
Thermaltake volcano2

Over all I'm pretty happy with the whole thing except for one part.

The volcano2 is noisy and from what I read before I bought everything it was supposed to be quiet. Not super powerfull and not great for massive overclocking or 1 gig and up tbirds but cheap and quiet.

Well Mine sure isn't, it sounds horrible, I'm working with the company I bought from to get it replaced.

I bought online from www.vibecomputers.com
Canadians take note. They are in BC and were great to work with.

I'm in Ontario so I didn't have to pay PST so that more then offset the shipping cost.

They were supposed to charge me 32 for 2 day shipping but It seems they didn't. I ordered tuesday, and it was at my door thursday morning.

I bought the case localy cause I found a good deal and shipping cases is expensive.

Total cost for the board, chip, HSF and a tube of arctic silver2 thermal paste was $347 Canadian including taxes and shipping. The visa reciept only shows $313.?? though and shipping isn't listed on my receipt.

I saved a TON of money. I tried to find the best prices in canada on the net and get my best local shop to match them and they couldn't even come close.

Vibe beat all the best prices I could find.

The board
Localy 259, vibe 197
Duron 750
Localy 115, vibe 57
HSF
localy 29, vibe 15

I doubt you could even buy any arctic silver2 in this town.

Anyways, any canadians looking for a good store to work with should be happy with vibe.
