Default What should I get?
Im buying a little bit of stuff from newegg.com IDE round and a dvi to vga adapter to hook up my second monitor. What else should I get, it seems a shame to waste $10 in shipping on a $10 purchase.

Need to replace any fans? Can you see into your case? I picked up some black thumbscrews that finished one of my cases off nice.

I had the same problem. I ended up buying some OCZ Freeze TIM for the next time I seated my CPU cooler. That OCZ Freeze dropped my idle and load temps by 5c.
