Hey,

Although I've built a system before (back when an Athlon 1 Ghz was cutting edge) I've had a few years out of the scene so I'm an enthusiatic amateur when it comes to building and OC'ing current hardware. But, with a modest budget and fewer bills to pay I'm back in the saddle, worrying about thermal paste and cable management and generally drawing strange looks from Mrs Tricky.

Currently living in Brighton, England I'm pulling together a "budget" system (see separate thread) and taking the leap with Vista so any help or advice is much appreciated!!

Later.
