Hey all.

After what seemed like an eternity, but was actually less then 3 weeks, I am now sitting in front of the most ridiculously awesome PC I could muster the nuts to buy. I have decided to name this PC 'Azad' as an homage to Iain M Banks. This is, amongst other things, the name of a game in the Novel 'Player of Games'. If you've read it, you'll understand. If you haven't, you should read it ;)

My review is short but sweet. PCS have been faultless during this whole process, and I will definitely be using them again in the future (although not too soon I hope). The forums on the website gave me access to a bunch of lunatics ready to help at the drop of a hat, and once I'd decided on what I was going to buy it was very easy to put together (even if I did end up changing the original spec... twice). The hardest part in the whole process was waiting :)

I called them a few days in to pre-production and they answered qithin a couple of minutes, were extremely polite and helpful, and I went away knowing that they were looking after my best interests. Very good service guys.

Special thanks to these guys:

Yodel were great too. Delivery by 2:30pm today, so well within the 48 hours. They did have me worried though, lol.

Anyways, some pics for you all. I may post a video later. If only I had a rig capable of video editing...

Lol, cheers. She's taken it pretty well if I'm honest. As long as I don't spend ALL my time on here I should be OK.

Been looking into this and I tend to agree :) Have looked at many reviews for 120mm fans but they all seem to be much of a muchness. Any pointers as to some good ones? She's running pretty quiet, even when maxing out Starcraft II, so I'd like to keep it that way.

Cheers peeps :)

What about coolermaster sickleflows they shift a good amount of air, only 19db. would lood good with your blue themed case.
Amazon sell them at a very good price.

i wouldn't put these on the liquid cooler though.

Do you have any exhaust fans?

Thanks for all the advice guys. Will get myself some of those blue CM badboys. Nice and quiet :)

might be a good idea to read the motherboard manual, will tell you where they would be best plugged in. (only know as i read it when i was really bored)

p.s thanks for the rep.
