And due in next week:

Opteron 175

I'll be running the on-board video 'til next week (Payday) when I'll get my Saphire X1900XTX and Zalman VF-900. Any known issues with any of this hardware? Installation problems? Compatibility issues? Pre-Build help appreciated. I've been building computers for MANY years and am by no means a novice however, this is my first "From The Ground Up" SFF. I've done Shuttles before so I am a little familiar with SFF. Thanks all...And yes, I will post pics when its done...

I'm thinking your going to want a different cooler, I have a feeling you're going to want something that exhausts air out the back. I can't speak for the vf900, but my friends x1800xt on a vf700 melts in his qpack, 110C.

VF700 (fatal1ty one) keep my x1800xl @ 39c/65c in my sg01...

Well,...I've read that...a) the VF900 cools very well and b) There's no real good exhausting HSF that fits the X1900XTX...I could be wrong though...
